Loch An Eilean

Crannog

drewbhoy Dec 24, 2023

A much smaller crannog that its near neighbour this crannog is only 10m wide and has also been called a low cairn crannog.

No visible causeway so short walk heading west, through a wee bog, jump a couple of fences / dry stane dykes to get a better view.
