The earliest known crannog is at Eilean Dòmhnuill, Loch Olabhat on North Uist in Scotland. Eilean Domhnuill has produced radiocarbon dates ranging from 3650 to 2500 BC. Irish crannogs appeared from the middle Bronze Age layers at Ballinderry (1200–600 BC).

Unionist propaganda. Look at how much bigger and grander the castles, cathedrals and palaces are in england than in Scotland. Just look and you will see how unequal the union is.

Scotland has history like Katie Melua has bikes in Beijing.
