After a visit to the fantastic Stoer Lighthouse we headed south east, then took the second road heading straight south towards Clashmore and Loch Na Claise. Plenty of room to park at the roads end.
I headed south west on a track leading towards a cottage, just before the end of the track there is a gate heading east, take that and keep going east thru another gate. The crannog will be straight in front.
Claise means gorge or ravine, but this loch seems pretty gentle to me. The crannog is 8m wide and has a causeway connecting it to the shore. Discoveries on the crannog were dated at 180BC.
Great wee site, worth heading east from the end of the road onto the slopes of Clashmore to get a view from above the loch.
Beautiful place.
