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.

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.
We include a wide range of hands-on activities built around what is being studied and what the class/school is looking to achieve. This can vary from cooking, foraging, storytelling, through to pottery, spinning, weaving, and woodwork. All activities are led by our Iron Age interpreters.
One of our team will call you prior to your visit to confirm details and plans. We will design the visit with you around your interests. We have changing themes throughout the year which follow closely with the seasons:
1. Spring – Foraging, abundance and Beltane
2. Summer – Trade, Travel and Solstice
3. Autumn – Harvest, Hunting and Samhain
4. Winter – Woodlands, Lardering and Imbolc
We bring a focus to these seasons just like the Crannog Dwellers would have done, however, we can and will tailor all visits to the groups learning outcomes and curriculum. Where possible, we ask for a 10:1 ratio on adults to children, this allows for the best experience possible on site, to encourage this ratio for every 10 kids one adult goes free!
