Overview

The Crannog Centre is set on Loch Tay, the actual Crannog is out on the water with a walk way made of tree trunks split in half. There is an exhibition which includes findings of the archaeological dig, which our guest found interesting. There is also a corner of dressing up clothes which we all hand some fun with. Inside the Crannog is a bit dark and the seating is low therefore if someone is easily disorientated take care. The Guided tour is very informative and gives a good insight into life in the Iron age. Outside the Crannog, there a lot of hands on activities, which people living with dementia enjoyed. We enjoyed the fire-making demonstration. There is a small Café and a gift shop. A good trip that our group enjoyed.

Transport & Parking

Parking is available across the road a couple of disable spaces. A short walk over to the entrance which is down a hill and a bit uneven.

Access

There is a concrete path up to the main entrance, all on one level not a lot of room in the main entrance, as this is the gift shop too. (staff will to help move things around but did not need to). Wooden path out to the crannog is uneven but we managed it with our group.

Toilets

There is a disabled toilet on right hand side of main entrance, sign posted well, enough room for a carer.

Staff

Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable gave a good account of life in the iron age, explained things slowly and clearly.
