'First' dino footprints on Scottish mainland

[Still Waters]

Dinosaur footprints have been found preserved in rocks on the Scottish mainland for the first time, a leading palaeontologist has said.

Dr Neil Clark, vice-president of the Geological Society of Glasgow, discovered the prints at a coastal location near Inverness.

Previously, dinosaur footprints have only been recorded in Skye.

The new fossils may have been left by different dinosaurs in the Middle Jurassic about 170 million years ago.

The location of the discovery has not been made public to allow for further research at the site.
