Rubha nam Brathairean (Brothers Point) is the most easterly point on the Isle of Skye. Nobody seems certain of the origin of the name, but it is most often said to have been a place where monks lived and worshiped in safety more than a thousand years ago. Beyond the point lies the island of Rona and the mainland of Scotland over the Inner Sound. Dinosaur tracks found at Brothers Point 6th April 2016 The rare site was found at Rubha nam Brathairean (or Brothers' Point) on the Isle of Skye, and it contains around 50 beautifully preserved prints from dinosaurs that roamed the island during the Middle Jurassic, about 170 million years ago.

But there's also a smattering of Theropods - carnivores that walked on their hind legs, such as Tyrannosaurus, gathering around what was once a shallow lagoon.
