Sailean Rubha Dubhairt (Loch Awe) Crannog
Sailean Rubha Dubhairt (Loch Awe) Crannog submitted by crannog : Taken from the A819 Inverary road. The crannog can be spotted at this time of year when there is no foliage. To get a closer look, a small wall must be climbed, short walk through young trees and undergrowth. Care must be taken as there is no definitive path, the ground slopes steeply to the loch side, the ground is rough and slippy. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A crannog, 32m by 26m in diameter, investigated in 1972 by a naval sub-aqua team under the direction of Dr T D McArdle of Edinburgh University.

Sailean Rubha Dubhairt (Loch Awe) Crannog submitted by caradoc68 : This Crannog gets its name from the near by settlement, the settlement is so badly over grown that it is hard to make out. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Sailean Rubha Dubhairt (Loch Awe) Crannog
Sailean Rubha Dubhairt (Loch Awe) Crannog submitted by crannog : Taken from the opposite side of the loch , Loch Awe village (sorry I do not have a zoom lens!) This crannog is situated in such a way it has an impressive all-round view of the loch and surrounding area. Close-by is remains of a settlement and cairn, however they are difficult to find due to saplings having been planted. (Vote or comment on this photo)
