DINOSAURS On The Isle Of Skye?! Hunting For Dino Footprints - Scottish Highlands - Ep107
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Willie, Sarah and their dogs, Jack Spaniels & Nori, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
This week, the Skye Lifers are heading out from Skye Life Cottage to search for the fossilised remains of creatures that roamed this land over 160 million years ago!
We drive out to the incredible landscape of the Trotternish peninsula, overlooked by the iconic Old Man of Storr, to hunt for dinosaur footprints - preserved for millions of years in the rock and only visible at low tide.
Will we actually find the prints or will we be searching fruitlessly? Watch and find out!
Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!
Sarah, Willie, Jack & Nori xx

Sarah, Willie, Jack & Nori x
Willie, you should go back with a handheld GPS unit and penmark. The ones you know for sure are footprints. And you could put it online for people and call it. Dinosaur geocaching
You both, and all four of you, are funny, informative and precious. Thank Younfor sharing all that you do. xoxoxo
I just can’t wrap my mind around the many millions of years. Fun day out, rain and all. Big snowfall here so extra nice to see the bright green grass of Skye.
Great video as always, thank you Sarah and Willie for taking us along to see these stunning views. So nice for people like me who can't walk on a flat surface anymore (let alone out there) that you give us a chance to enjoy this excursion with you. With a wee bit of imagination we can taste the salty wind and feel the cold on our face. ❤ All the best from Bavaria, see ya next week 🙋🏻♀ Lisa
Happy Sunday everyone ❤
Sundays wouldn’t be the same without your videos!🏴🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing the beauty of Skye.
Thank you for taking us on an adventure!
So much fun.
Loved Willie's humor.😂
Lovely to see more of Skye great drone footage xx
Great video with beautiful scenery! I live in Colorado, where there was a TRex and Stegosaurus skeleton were found nearby and Dinosaur Ridge, which snakes along a major highway.
Excellent video and associated music this week guys. Photography is fab.
Love watching you. Went to Skye almost 50 years ago. Stayed in a fisherman’s Croft near the Stein Inn. It was beautiful and I loved it. I saw eagles and seals. Keep up the good work 👍
And THE THAW! LOVE IT..❤❤❤❤
🦕🦖🤩 Thank you for that little adventure of the week❤
A wonderful place at the beach! And stunning footprints 🤩
Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon🖐🇺🇸
What a roaring adventure! 👍. Nova Scotia has many beaches with dinosaur footprints.
In fact, back in the 70s I found a full skeleton of a dinosaur related to the early birds in a rock that had split on Troy Beach. When I went back a few months later it was gone. Hopefully it was picked up and taken to the university in Halifax NS.
I love your channel.🙏❤️🙏
So very, very beautiful!!! And what fun to see the dinosaur prints! Thank you for being the intrepid explorers for us!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We had a seal taking up residency in a hotelroom at the local beach 😂 and i am actually old enough to remember prof Roberts first appearing in time team episodes.. love archaeology programmes 😊
Willie and Sarah, I absolutely love the landscape of the Isle of Skye. Your drone camera work is amazing. Always enjoy Jack Spaniels and rambunctious Nori! Looking forward to next week's video. Have a lovely week ahead.
Nori is like, dinosaur water is the yummy water
A lovely episode this evening! 💖❤️
Many years ago 1997 to be exact we as a family stayed at Staffin for a Holiday and were exactly where you went.. Spent hours looking g for footprints and fossilised shell shelfs. My kids were young and had a brilliant time especially when we told them to be careful of the dinos.
Dinosaur 🦕 prints were amazing! Scenery was beautiful as always. Willie's music was a perfect accompliment. Love seeing your travels with Jack and Nori, who looked like they enjoyed it as well. ❤
The bloopers were a good laugh, Willie you do a great Billy Connolly.😊
I wouldn't be able to manage any of that terrain now, so I really appreciate the chance to see it, and can almost smell the sea and feel the wind. Thankyou.
I especially love the videos where you explore Skye, and dinosaur prints are a special treat! Good to see you channel your inner dinosaurs. Look forward to seeing more.
We always called pizza crusts for our black lab "pizza bones" and she LOVED them!!❤❤❤
I just added a comment saying the same thing! My dog loved pizza bones! 😉 Sadly, she’s no longer with us. But it brought back lovely memories of her.
@amywedekind1171 Our lab, Taffy, isn't here either. She lived to be 15 and blessed us with lots of love.❤❤❤
@@kimberlymolitor354 ♥️♥️♥️🐶
Such beautiful Doggies...so gentle and well- behaved...❤❤❤❤
Awesome drone shots Willie. That was a wonderful video, thanks so much.
That is very cool finding dinosaur foot prints there! Beautiful views out there as well. Nice outing to enjoy with the dogs. I bet it was quite chilly out here. Love the cardigan Sarah was wearing. 🐾🏞
I visited your 1st beach location several years ago during the summer. Also visited the museum, and can confirm that the prints you found are indeed the dinosaur prints shown in the museum. There was a lovely coffee shop there too that had delicious scones and hand pies. I loved my visit to all of Scotland, but Skye is the best, in my opinion. Thanks for bringing back lovely memories!
Very interesting footage.❤❤
Hello Sarah and Willie Great video today I liked seeing all of the landscape. On your dinosaur adventure. Looking forward to the next video as always. ♥️
Great vlog 🦕 will look forward to seeing the 🦖 museum when you return, many thanks x
Another classic video by the two of you and so entertaining. They are always perfect for a Sunday
I love Psalms 133, and 134...❤
The landscape is beautiful on Skye!
Reminded by today's video how much I love all the music you have composed and it enhances each vlog. Thanks for sharing your many talents with us! One of the stones Sarah highlighted looked like petrified wood. Who knows!
Sweet video thanks for the prehistoric footprints 🦖🦖🦖
YAY! You went to see them. I didn't expect you to go there during winter. And Willie found a "Dirty Secrets of Scotland" in jar form! The views were outstanding, I hope you had a grand time!
Thank you, such a refreshing visit to the Skye isle again! Dinosaurs are really mind blowing! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for my Sunday fix. Another place for us to explore in April. Stunning scenery .
Drop Dead Gorgeous! Thank you for tking us with you.
Loved it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of my favorite episodes, include dinosaurs or astronomy and I'm in! Thank you!
Loved the vid guys .
You are doing one of my favourite things. I love looking at rocks shells tidal pools. Wonderful to see what nature has created. I would bring my camera and get lost in taking pictures. 😃😃😃
Always a fun and interesting time. ❤
What kind of dinosaur? There were so many different kinds! Dinosaurs with Willie music and spaniels are the best kinds. 🦖 🦕
Just love innocent Nori and the dinosaur head that isnt 😂😂❤
Have been to An Corran at Staffin a few times - back when the kids where young, great beach and nice shallow sea 🌊, and we have spotted many Dino footprints there over the years. A wonderful trip down memory lane. Spotted several eagles around where you parked the car for brothers point too (Croft with the red roof - memorable), near those bluffs. All great nature and fun - everything Skye is famed for and always better in winter months if you can hack the weather 👍 Cheers guys great video! 👌
Great drone shots
Love this video, also thrilled with my puffin mug which I received this week. Beautifully packed so it arrived in one piece all the way to Victoria Australia. Thank you Sarah ❤
Are you sure the footprints were dinosaurs and not yours Willie? As usual fantastic travelogue of Skye!
awesome video as always ... :)
Great video! I so want to make it to Scotland one day…. It is soooooo beautiful! I’m so thankful that you share it with us each week. ❤ one of my dog’s favorite treats used to be “pizza bones”. She used to get so excited when she saw a pizza box! I figure a couple little pizza bones every now and then won’t hurt. Especially for Jack and Nori since they are so active. Have a great week!
This was a fascinating video, really grand of you to share with us, extraordinary part of the world you live in. Willie your music is perfect. And,”Nori did you decapitate the dinosaur?” LOL!!
You guys do a great job editing!
Really cool dinosaur prints! Always enjoy your forays into the wild!
Great video guys , interesting , and as always loved seeing the dogs 🐕👍😘
One of my fave bloopers. You're such a neep Willie!!!😂
You guys were really having fun with those dinosaur 🦖 effects! 😂
Stunning!
Thank you both so much enjoyed the video ❤ xx
Stunning views❤ Thanks for sharing!!
Gosh some beautiful places around your area. Loved the scenery and Jack and Norrie were well behaved.
Pizza looked yummy.
Great video. Loved the beautiful scenery. ❤🦖🦕
Stunning coastline on the Isle of Skye
While I really enjoy the videos about working on your place, car, and boat, these day trips around the isle to points of interest are great. Gives us a chance to get a feel for it. Thanks
Annnnnd Sunday is complete 😁 love your videos and content and I will get back to Skye... Thank you both
Wow absolutely magical vlog guys , many thanks
wow. great video
Lovely walk to the beach and great finds! Thank you guys!
There were several places we didn't get to last time we came Skye, 2 yrs ago, and An Corran was one of them. Really need to come back especially as there was a whiteout up on the Quiraing, the carpark was shut at the Mealt Falls and we couldn't get a parking spot at Coral beach. This year we are doing the top of the Highlands (above Inverness) so don't think we will get back to Skye but we will be back in the next couple of years. Just ordered another print off Sarah's Etsy shop, this will be my 5th, to add to my gallery wall. I look forward to Sunday evenings, at 6pm, so much. Gives me my Skye fix for the week lol.
* If people aren't aware Sarah has had a sale going on over on Etsy of some of her prints that are very slight 'seconds' ie slight imperfections caused during the printing process.
Thank you, Sarah and Willie, for another Skye Life walk💖💖💖💖
❤❤❤❤
loved this video - especially enjoyed viewing the Brother's Point area. thank you for sharing your Skye Life adventures. P.S. loved the cuffs on your sweater.
Beautiful video x and just love all your music Willie ..be great background music in films ..some of it sounds so Scottish…lovely ..
Great video as always ❤
Great fun x
Love watching you both on a Sunday night, just after I have finished work, watching from Bristol x
Four little eyes peering at you from behind their car gate, politely but eagerly awaiting their share of the pizza!
Another great video. Thanks you guys. We love you...from America.
PS...wish we had that pizza! Looked good!
Great video! Digging for Britain is one of my favourite programmes too! In the latest series there is fantastic episode about a Dinosaur highway,near Bicester in Oxfordshire,my home town! 🦕🦖
Heard Sarah say "Aye" a couple of times. Not noticed this before! Lovely video, the scenery is unbelievable. Very envious. XX
We say ‘Aye’ in Newcastle too!!
Aaah, my sunday holiday in Scotland
Beautiful landscapes, music, animals and people too! Thanks guys 🏴❤️
I definitely think some of those were footprints, so cool. Definitely need to visit soon.
Aye! A wee bit af Billy Connelley. 😆 Suggestion. Willie doing a Billy Connelley skit on life in Skye?🤔 Noo hive hud ma Skye Life fix fir the week.😄
Really beautiful views
Very nice video,beautiful scenery plus ancient history ....some of the tracks show up clearly while others show their age....I was wondering why the little dinosaur wasn't in your ending...Bad boy Nori!! looking forward to next weeks adventure...Karl
Cool comment. " They only left their fortprints"...❤❤❤
I really enjoyed that thank you for taking us to that place. Willie after your pizza you looked really tired. Love youall and see you next week.🦕🦕🦕 You can tell I need new glasses as I have put up Nessy instead of a dinosaur.🦖🦖🦖 How's that?
Yes I too love Alice Roerts programs but if I watch one I have to watch them all on iplayer. Love all programs like that.
Just looked at my pics of the dinosaur beach. I, along with everyone else, took a pic of my feet in the print. My Grand kids were fascinated with the thought of the footprints
We stayed at Staffin for a week. Did we spot the footprints....? Nope! We kept missing the tide! However, we can definitely recommend the dinosaur museum.
Thanks for sharing N&Nx
❤❤❤❤
I sure would like one of those smooth rocks and my Christmas card! 😊
Your dinosaur sounds scared the pee out of my pup- literally! 😢🐩 She's a rescue from a shelter and still getting used to life in the big world.
Love willies impersonations of dinosaur
Willie just at home with the old fossils 😁😂😂
