Dhu Loch Crannog
The remains of a crannog could once be seen on the Dhu Loch (Black Lake). Constructed of wooden piles and beams, it was drawn by Mackinlay in 1812 and 1826 when the water level was exceptionally low.
The remains of the crannog were completely submerged when the Dhu Loch valley was dammed to form a reservoir in the early 20th century. The water level was again raised in 1932 when the dam was heightened and nothing can now be seen.
