A Crannog is an iron age type of Loch dwelling – usually in the form of a round house on stilts that would accommodate a whole community.
A team of underwater archaeologists discovered remains of a Crannog in Loch Tay by the village of Kenmore and this inspired the recreation of a Crannog on the loch.
In addition to the very faithful recreation of a Crannog, complete with smells, there is an exhibition centre displaying the iron-age artefacts found in Loch Tay, an explanation of how they built the Crannog, and an interactive area where you can try your hand at ancient crafts.
Visitors are taken on tours by guides in Iron-Age clothing. Unfortunately, you have to move at the pace of the tour guide and this means that the full tour can take an hour. The Crannog is also in an exposed spot so it can be cold. We advise that you wrap up warm.
