Our School Visits are whole day visits in which we offer a variety of activities tailored to the groups needs and interests. A visit to The Scottish Crannog Centre would start between 10:00am – 11:00 and finishes up at 3:00pm the latest. These times can be amended to suit your travelling needs and school start times.

We include a wide range of hands on activities built around what is being studied and what the Class/School is looking for to achieve. This can vary from Wire Jewellery, tin casting, blacksmithing through to pottery, spinning and weaving and woodworking. All led by our Iron Age demonstrators.

One of our team will call you prior to your visit to confirm details and plans and will design the visit with you.

We have a changing theme throughout the year which follows closely with the seasons:

1.       Spring – Foraging, abundance and Beltane

2.      Summer – Trade, Travel and Solsitice

3.      Autumn – Harvest, Hunting and Samhain

4.      Winter  – Woodlands, Lardering and Imbolc

These are the focus on the times of year that we follow and as a Crannog Community will be working on, however we can and will tailor all visits to the groups and what is being studied by your Class/School. 

We always work with schools in small groups, this is to engage with pupils on a level which means no-one is left behind, they get the full attention of our fantastic Iron Age interpreters – we don’t have an outdoor classroom or a lunch room, the whole ethos of the museum is to have your community come and join our community much as was done in prehistoric times – sharing skills, knowledge and stories – so  get your boasts ready to impress our team!
