The Scottish Crannog Centre tells the story of Iron Age loch-dwellers through a reconstructed Crannog, an Iron Age village and a museum holding thousands of ancient artefacts, including a nationally recognised collection. You can join expert-led tours, watch traditional crafts such as woodworking and textiles, and stop for local treats and coffee at the café. It suits visitors keen on hands-on history and archaeology, families and those interested in Scotland's prehistoric heritage. The site is open daily from 10am to 6pm. Located in Perth and Kinross, it makes a good day out if you're staying nearby, with Pitlochry station 13.7 miles away and 26 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
