Dippy the dinosaur goes on display in Glasgow

Dippy, the 70ft (21m) long replica diplodocus skeleton, opens to the public in Glasgow.

Dipodocus carnegii, a sauropod, was named after Scottish philanthropist Andrew Carnegie who funded the excavation in Wyoming in 1899.

Dippy is one of several replicas donated by Carnegie to several countries around the world.
