A crannog is a type of
ancient loch-dwelling found throughout Scotland and Ireland
dating from 5,000 years ago. Many crannogs were built out in
the water as defensive homesteads and represented symbols of
power and wealth. The Scottish Crannog Centre features a
unique reconstruction of an early Iron Age loch-dwelling,
built by the Scottish Trust for Underwater Archaeology. This
authentic recreation is based on the excavation evidence
from the 2,600 year old site of 'Oakbank Crannog', one of
the 18 crannogs preserved in Loch Tay, Scotland |
