The stunning beach in Scotland where you can find giant dinosaur footprints

Did you know that the island of Skye off the west coast of Scotland is not only home to some breathtaking scenery and historic castles, but that it's also home to a beach full of dinosaur footprints? Fans of these incredible creatures from the past will find they can walk with dinosaurs at An Corran beach on the east coast of the island.

Found just north of the town of Portree, close to Staffin, evidence of the past looms large on this beach where tracks of a variety of dinosaurs can be seen. These massive animals once roamed the land here leaving their mark and for children can be a magical connection between the dinosaurs and Scotland.

Best of all, sometimes the tide coming and out can leave them covered in seaweed or sand meaning you may have to take time to "uncover" the tracks allowing your little dinosaur lovers to feel like true palaeontologists.
