Kenmore & The Scottish Crannog Centre
The 14-mile-long Loch Tay is surrounded by some of the loveliest scenery in Perthshire and is well worth exploring, though public transport around its shores is limited to one postbus service a day. At the northeast end of Loch Tay is Kenmore, a neat little village of whitewashed cottages dominated by a huge archway which stands at the gateway to Taymouth Castle, built by the Campbells of Glenorchy in the early 19th century and now a very fine golf course, Tel. 830228.
Near the village, on the southern bank of the loch, is The Scottish Crannog Centre, an authentic reconstruction of a crannog, an artificial Bronze-Age island-house built for the purpose of defence. Mar and Nov daily 1000-1600; Apr to mid-Oct 1000-1730. Tel. 830583.
