Plans for the new £12 million Scottish Crannog Centre have been submitted to Perth and Kinross Council. The Scottish Crannog Centre Trust hopes the attraction will be "Scotland’s most sustainable museum" and will bring "many more jobs, opportunities and visitors to Highland Perthshire ".
A devastating fire in June 2021 hastened the need for the planned development on the other side of Loch Tay.The fire destroyed the recreated Iron Age house on the shore of Loch Tay at Kenmore.The move to a new site at Dalerb would see the creation of a new Scottish Crannog Centre.
The visitor attraction would include an Iron Age village with demonstration structures, a roundhouse, a crannog (eventually three), footpaths, car park, as well as a visitor centre with a shop, exhibition, café, teaching and office space.
