Our goal is to become a national treasure, loved and admired by all, with social justice at its heart.
To achieve this, we consistently reflect, engage in meaningful conversations, and challenge ourselves to deliver work that matters, has impact, and benefits the diverse communities the museum serves. This commitment is not merely project-work; it is integral to our mission and vision as a museum. We strive to create an organisation where a thousand fingerprints and a thousand voices are involved in all that we do.
Mission
Care for and make accessible the finds of Scottish Crannog dwellers, offering benefit, enjoyment, education, and inspiration for all.
Demonstrate how the stories of the crannog dwellers weave a significant thread into the rich fabric of Scotland’s heritage. Rooted in our local community, we aspire to have a local, regional, national, and international impact. Through our practices, we aim to maximise the social and economic impact of our work, playing our part in addressing the climate emergency.
Apprenticeships
One of the key pillars of The Scottish Crannog Centre’s work is our commitment to providing meaningful and accessible employment opportunities for people experiencing barriers to work. Alongside our work with partners, we deliver an award-winning apprenticeship program.
Our apprentices have the opportunity to gain qualifications in Customer Service, Museums Galleries Practice, Woodland Operations, and more, while being part of a committed team to their personal and professional development.
Schools at the Crannog
At the Scottish Crannog Centre, we welcome schools to come and experience the early Iron Age through hands-on activities relating to daily life.
Our visits are a whole day in which we offer a variety of activities tailored to the groups needs and interests. A visit to The Scottish Crannog Centre starts between 10:00-11:00am and finishes up at 3:00pm. These times can be amended to suit your travelling needs and school times.
Groups
Whether you are a group of 20 or more, a tour company with a fleet of coaches, or a single minibus tour operator we accommodate all group bookings and can offer experiences beyond the fantastic guided tour of the centre. Whether it’s a day trip, a bespoke evening tour, or music and storytelling around the fire you’re after, contact us today.
