The secret of the lochs: Scotland’s hand-built islands resting on wood
Archaeologists have revealed that many Scottish loch islands are not natural but are ancient man-made crannogs, constructed as early as 3600 B.C. These Neolithic stone and timber structures, built with remarkable engineering skill, served as exclusive, defensive dwellings. Modern photogrammetry allows for detailed 3D reconstructions, showcasing their hidden causeways and the ingenuity of their builders.
