Crannog Island
Crannogs provided a means of protection for farmers and
livestock - surrounded by water - in the early medieval
period, about 1,700 years ago.
They were traditionally built in an area of shallow water
within easy reach of the shore. The Crannog and Lake here
in the Park are artificially created, but have been built
with traditional materials. Access is provided via a specially
constructed wooden bridge. |
