Today we took a trip to the Scottish Crannog Centre, Kenmore, Loch Tay, Scotland. This is the site of a reconstrution Crannog which was built 21 years ago based on the Oakbank Crannog located off the village of Fearnan where archeologists have been excavating. For those of you who do not know what a Crannog is, It is round house built on the water close to the shore. The remains of these can be seen in and around the shore of Scotland, Ireland and one in Walse, however many Crannogs are still being discovered every day.
