The Staffin Dinosaur Museum was established by Dugald Ross in 1976 when he was only a teenager. The species he identified in the area include Stegosaurus, Megalosaurus, Cetiosaurus, Hadrosaurus, and Ceolophysis.
We offer tours of the infamously hard to find Staffin dinosaur footprints. Not to mention you'll get the first hand account from the man who discovered all of the fossils in the museum. Bring the whole family and experience Skye's only dinosaur museum.
