The Tiny Scottish Island With A Dark Past - Our Jurassic Fossil Hunt On The Isle Of Raasay - Ep142

Willie, Sarah and their dogs, Jack Spaniels & Nori, left their suburban life and moved over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands. Here we grow our own food, do renovation projects, explore the stunning landscapes, take trips in our wee boat, work on our rusty but reliable Land Rover Defender, forage for wild food and generally try to live a slower, simpler pace of life. This week the Skye Lifers are exploring more of the beautiful Isle of Raasay - just a short ferry ride away from Skye. This small island has a big personality - with stunning scenery, dark & dramatic history and fascinating geology... So fascinating in fact, that we are on the hunt for Jurassic era fossils! We head off on an adventure to a remote beach below a ruined village where we hope to find ammonites preserved in the rocks...Join us as we go on a rockhounding expedition and learn more about the dark history of this ruined clearance village. Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!
