Crannogs and Dunkeld

Our day started learning about the Iron Age (1400BC) people who farmed these lands and built Scotlands unique crannogs, which are prehistoric thatched roofed defensive huts build on piers over the lochs. Lots of interesting demonstrations of what life was like thousands of years ago.
