Visited Scottish Crannog Centre with my husband when having a wee break in Perthshire. The crannog in itself is amazing but what makes it really special is the fantastic staff who really bring to life how folk would have lived. You have a talk inside the Crannog with so much interesting details and then examples of woodwork, firemaking etc when... More

This place is amazing. A great way to delve into the past and see how folks really lived. Very educational. I think I'd be the one milling the spelt cause I was nae use at the woodwork. More

This is the sort of place that's either fascinating or slightly wasteful. Often it depends on the staff, and in this case the staff are amazingly knowledgeable -- many of whom being the experimental archaeologists who excavated the crannog and/or re-constructed it as the basis for the centre. Our guide (Dirk) was clearly living the Iron Age life, and demonstrated... More

We have visited this centre on two very different occassions. Try to choose a nice day to go, because the weather can really turn a great visit into something really special. The first occasion was a terrible weather day, very windy and rainy and although our time inside the Crannog was fine and everything was cosy, we were unable to... More

This was something very different, and well worth a visit, especially with children. You get to try out all the tools that the iron age people used, you are shown how to use them and then you get to have a go, lots of great opportunities for fun photos. You are taken to sit in the Crannog and given a... More

We visited the Crannog Centre as the website looked good as though it would be something we'd enjoy as a family. When I told our 2 children who are 12 and 9, it transpired they'd learned about Crannogs at school as part of their Scotland topics. Our Sat Nav made it here without any issues. The Crannog Centre was on... More
