Dinosaurs! The very word conjures up fascination and intrigue with millions of us dreaming of becoming a palaeontologist when we were younger. Yet few of us realise that over 50 different dinosaur species have been found in Britain. Dinosaur Britain tells the amazing story of many of the dinosaurs that once roamed our country revealing how they hunted, what they ate and how they died from the evidence revealed from their bones.
In this episode, we discover how dinosaurs were first identified as an entirely new species right here in Britain, how a piece of jaw bone revealed the ‘British raptor’ to be the size of a turkey, and how a completely new species, unique to Britain, was uncovered by an amateur fossil hunter on Charmouth beach.
Off the west coast of Scotland, 130 miles away from Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye has become one of the most exciting dinosaur hotspots in the whole of the UK. In 1982, evidence of the first Scottish dinosaurs were discovered here.
