Scottish Crannog Centre
People lived in them from as early as 5,000 years ago, up until the 17th century AD. They were built out in the water as defensive homesteads, secure from wild animals and invaders.
Many crannogs were originally timber-built round houses supported on stilts driven into the lochbed. Today they appear as submerged stony mounds or tree-covered islands. There are 18 crannogs in Loch Tay and archaeologists have been excavating them underwater for several years.
These exciting explorations are part of an ongoing project which forms the basis of the reconstruction taking place in the loch at Kenmore, near Croft-na-Caber.
