The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, Steve Brusatte

The more we read about Skye the more one name kept popping up: Dugald Ross. It wasn't a name I was familiar with. He wasn't a paleontologist or a geologist or a scientist of any kind. Yet he'd discovered and described many of the dinosaur fossils found on Skye. Dugald was a local boy who grew up in the tiny hamlet of Ellishadder on the far north eastern arm of the island... He was raised in a household that spoke Gaelic. When Dugald was fifteen years old he found a cache of arrow points and bronze age artifacts near his family's home, and this sparked an obsession with the history of his native island.
