Overview

The Crannog Centre is set on Loch Tay, the actual Crannog is out on the water with a walk way made of tree trunks split in half( Guest in wheelchair unable to cross). There is an exhibition which includes findings of the archeological dig, which our guest found interesting. There is also a corner of dressing up clothes which we all hand some fun with! Inside the Crannog it is a bit dark and the seating is low (Guest in wheelchair not able to access). The Guided tour is very informative and gives a good insight into life in the Iron age. Outside the Crannog, there a lot of hands on activities, which people living with dementia enjoyed. We particularly enjoyed the fire making demonstration. There is a small Café and a gift shop. A good trip that our group enjoyed.

Transport & Parking

Parking is available across the road and there are a couple of disable spaces. A short walk over to the entrance, which Is down a hill and a bit uneven, for someone in wheelchair may be a bit uncomfortable.

Access

There is a concrete path up to the main entrance, all on one level not a lot of room in the main entrance, as this is the gift shop too. (staff are will to help move things around but did not need to) I did manage to maneuver wheelchair into Exhibition room and then outside to the activities. Some parts are chipping stones not so good for wheelchair. Only part we could not access was the Crannog itself.

Toilets

There is a disabled toilet on right hand side of main entrance, sign posted well, enough room for a carer.

Staff

Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable gave a good account of life in the iron age, explained things slowly and clearly. They did advise us before starting the fire making demonstration so we could move to front with wheelchair.
