Our group huddled inside the timber dwelling, and were sheltered from the storm just fine. Our tour group of 24 was probably similar in size to the family group that would have lived inside millennia ago. But we didn’t have any animals, and archaeologists did find evidence of stables inside the crannogs. So most of the islands you see out if the middle of lakes in Scotland and throughout the British Isles are probably remains of crannogs. So interesting to learn about these things I had never heard of!
