Scottish Crannog Centre, Aberfeldy, Scotland, United Kingdom
An award-winning museum, Scottish Crannog Centre is home to many reconstructions of Scottish and Irish homes from 5,000 A.D. to present. One of its most prized replicas is the Iron Age loch dwelling place which was patterned after an excavation dated back in the second century. This living museum is beautifully situated on an artificial island on Aberfeldy, further adding to it being an interesting site to visit.
Another iconic landmark to visit in this town is the stunning Taymouth Castle, a neo-Gothic architecture built during the 15th-century. It is exquisitely-designed with murals and carvings that are sure to wow its guests. The Castle Menzies is also a must-visit site for its unique Renaissance design. It is often used for weddings and posh parties which is a testament to its elegance. Finally, to complete an exploration of Aberfeldy’s architectural designs, tourists should also put in their itinerary the 400-feet-long Wade's Bridge which is considered as the most important work of the general from whom this work is named after. Those who like to have easier access to more pre-historic structures should stay close to the town of Cashlie. One of the highly-rated lodgings in this area is the Bridge of Lochay Hotel, a former 18th-century mansion. The property itself is around two acres, providing visitors ample space to run around and enjoy its surroundings. The Coach House Hotel is also a good alternative for those who prefer to stay by the riverside.
