14 December 2017
Geologists have found evidence of a 60 million-year-old meteorite impact on the Isle of Skye.
They made the discovery while exploring volcanic rocks on the island, including at a site just south of Broadford.
Meteoritic minerals found below layers of lavas, dated to volcanic activity as much as 61.54 million years ago, have not previously been found on Earth.
