Carn Dubh, Crannog (Loch Awe)
Carn Dubh, Crannog (Loch Awe) submitted by crannog : If I had a boat i'd have went over!!! Love the detail that is visible on this crannog. Standing looking at it, where it is situated the imagination can't help but be filled with vivid images of the peoples that built and used this beautiful crannog. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Investigation in 1972 by a naval sub-aqua team under the direction of Dr T D McArdle of Edinburgh University confirmed that the stony island in Loch Awe, known as Carn Dubh, is a crannog.

It is wholly artificial in that it does not incorporate natural glacial mounds, ridges of bedrock or a natural island surface as a foundation. The elevation of this crannog suggests that there may have been later re-building. Timbers in large quantities were visible and a sharpening stone was found.
