Cairns, cups and crannogs

In this episode we'll look at the distribution of stone structures of the neolithic age in the Loch Lomond area, what do they tell us about settlement in this time? Was there settlement on the East side of Loch Lomond at this early stage?

There's other secrets to find about about with cup marked stones to consider, then some underwater marvels as we step forward to the brink of the iron age and introduce the remains of some crannogs.

This podcast is presented by me, Alasdair Eckersall, and it's intended as an unhurried, in-depth look at the story of the area, over the ages, that we can piece together from the few clues left behind.
