Skye houses a complete sequence of 400m of the Jurassic history. The entire coast from portree to staffin is fossiliferous Jurassic rocks. This guide features Bearreraig Bay fossils and some local information.

Elgol offers beautiful scenery and the guarantee of finding fossils. The sheer number of bivalve fossils crammed into certain layers of rock here is staggering.

Various fossils such as belemnites and bivalves can be found along the beautiful and unspoilt coastline to the south east of Kilmarie. Views seen from the beach are magnificent.

A location which is worth stopping off at for an hour on the way to Elgol, belemnite fossils can be found at this location. A few rocks contain bivalves. Some sandstone outcrops also contain fossils.

The Glasnakille stretch of coastline must be accessed in 3 different places to see its various bays and headlands. The sea here reaches the plunging cliffs even at low tide. The scenery is worth the effort even if the fossil finds are on the low side.

Infrequent Cambrian fossils can be observed on the surfaces of dolomitic limestone boulders at the base of Ben Suardal. They are not particularly easy to find and are hard to collect but their great age should be an incentive to at least try to find them.
