The culmination of our three-year excavation of the Iron Age site will coincide with a fun-filled festival of arts, crafts, demonstrations and guided tours of the dig. Join us in the Braveheart carpark at the foot of Glen Nevis for an insight into life in the Iron Age, with storytelling, craft activities and cooking demonstrations from the Scottish Crannog Centre. A shuttle bus will be taking visitors up to the excavation on the hillfort.
