This is one of our favourite recommendations in Skye. A langoustine roll to die for. Can’t wait to try it and can’t recommend Cafe Cuil enough

This lango roll recipe is a great option for a quick spring dinner. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they’re super indulgent and are a great way to impress a guest. The key to this dish is getting the freshest langoustines you can get your hands on, and you’ll be on to a winner. Ser...

A new species of pterosaur which lived up to 168 million years ago has been discovered on Skye

The winged reptile - Ceoptera Evansae - is believed to have lived during the Middle Jurassic period.

The fossil remains were first spotted by palaeontologists in Elgol back in 2006. Since the discovery, palaeontologists have been preparing the specimen and scanning the bones.

Most of the new species' closest relatives have been found in China, with the discovery being described by Professor Paul Barrett, merit researcher at the Natural History Museum, as a "complete surprise."

The name Ceoptera - is in reference to the Gaelic word cheò, in tribute to Skye's name as Eilean a' Cheò, the Isle of Mist.

The shoulders, wings, legs and backbone are what have been found to remain of the pterosaur skeleton.
