Please Send me a Postcard

Keeping the Scottish theme for our second postcard, this one comes from The Scottish Crannog Centre, Kenmore, Loch Tay, Perthshire.

I had to admit to looking up what a Crannog was,[from Wikipedia]

A crannóg is an artificial island, usually originally built in lakes, rivers and estuarine waters, and most often used as an island settlement or dwelling place in prehistoric or medieval times. The name itself may refer to a wooden platform erected on shallow floors, but few remains of this sort have been found. The name crannóg, Anglicized “crannoge”, is from Old Irish “crannóc”, from crann, tree and ‘og’ young.

The postcard comes from Jim.

Visited this Crannog on the shores of Loch Tay. Many enthusiastic staff to tell the story. Told what our ancestors ate and wore and shown how to make fire. Much more interesting than the local stately homes!

Thanks Jim!
