Eighteen of these have been found on Loch Tay in Perthshire. Since 1979, we\u2019ve explored these ancient dwellings and in 1997 a reconstruction based on excavation results was built and became the showpiece of the Scottish Crannog Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the destruction of the Crannog due to a fire in 2021, we have rebuilt and become bigger and better than ever, thanks to the efforts of many through fundraising, development, and dedication.&nbsp; We are currently in the process of building the first of three crannogs over the loch with hopes of completion Spring 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore our museum which holds ancient artefacts, and our Iron Age village, crafted with locally sourced materials, showcasing traditional craftsmanship with hands-on activities. Join expert-led tours. Open daily from 10am to 6pm, our site offers guided tours and some delicious local treats and Glen Lyon coffee at our caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crannog.co.uk\">Read more here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration: Scottish Crannog Centre by\u00a0Euan Nelson, CC BY-SA 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons The Scottish Crannog Centre are currently in the process of building the first of three Crannogs over the loch and we need your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[718,62,29,83],"class_list":["post-46967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog","tag-buildings","tag-funding","tag-heritage","tag-scotland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46967"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46968,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46967\/revisions\/46968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
