This video clip shows the reconstructed Crannog, a type of ancient (iron-age) loch (lake) dwelling found throughout Scotland and Ireland. These high status homes were built a short distance offshore, either on wooden stilts or man made islands, possibly for defensive purposes. Crannogs were built and occupied from about 3000BC to the 17th century AD.
This Crannog was constructed using information obtained by archaeologists from the 2600 yera old Oakbank Crannog on the opposite side of Loch Tay, at Fearnan.

  • Great to see the Cranog center and the area near Oakbank, but frankly the clip does not do justice to this one of a kind interpretive museum site. I saw this place many years ago and it never left my memory. One more time? Lolly
