Scotland is a land of many mysteries and stories, as well as amazing Scottish dinosaurs. The first dinosaur to live in Scotland was the Storr lake monster, which lived about 200 million years ago. Next came the Diplodocus carnegii, which lived 187-136 million years ago. This Scottish dinosaur could be seen at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh until it went to a new home at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania on December 20, 2015.
Which Scottish dinosaur is the logo of the National Museum of Scotland?
Diplodocus carnegii was the first Scottish dinosaur and has also been used as the museum's logo since its opening in 1998. The building, which takes an organic form with its sloping roof and tall windows, is shaped like a prehistoric animal that roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
How many different types of dinosaurs were found in Scotland?
Only two species have been discovered in Scotland: the Storr Lochs monster (200 million years ago) and Diplodocus carnegii (187-136 million years ago). Both are aquatic creatures that became extinct before the Cretaceous.
