Celebrate the harvest period at the Scottish Crannog Centre by taking part in our ‘Great Iron Age Bake Off!’ We will explore the abundance of autumn, using all that the fields, woodlands and loch has to offer. 

Enjoy food cooked on the open fire by all the members of the Crannog Community, with homemade cheese, stewed fruits, roasted meats, sweet treats and more. Then step into the role of a judge to determine which of our teams’ dishes is the best. 

You wouldn’t believe the past could be so delicious! 

Celebrate the night when the veil between the spirit world and the mortal world disappears, when the last of the harvest has been brought in, and the winter begins. Immerse yourself in our Iron Age Village and warm your feet by the fire, listen to stories and songs, and witness our ritual wicker burn on the beach. A magical evening not too be missed, fancy dress is encouraged!
