Abstract
The limb bone of a dinosaur was discovered from the Valtos Sandstone F ormation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) near Valtos, Isle of Skye. The b one preserves the eroded proximal and distal ends and is missing the m id-shaft. It represents the first unequivocal Middle Jurassic dinosaur bone from Scotland. The bone is of a sauropod dinosaur and may be the femur of a cetiosaurid.
