This episode will look into how common crannogs were on Loch Lomond and potential links with later settlements around the Loch. We'll also explore where the main centre or centres of power and influence may have been, and start to get a handle on the identity of the folks who lived around the loch at this time.

I've also got an email address you can get in touch on, it's eastlochlomondhistory1@gmail.com, and it would be great to get feedback, critical comment, and any thoughts or potential additions to the known history and suggestions being put forward in this podcast.

Thanks!

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.

The first of an initial seven episode series that will explore the history of the lochside from the end of the last ice age through to the end of the first millenium AD.

In this first episode we'll explore what we can surmise about the natural history of the lochside prior to and during the return of people and what clues there are to the earliest presence and settlement around the loch.

My name is Alasdair Eckersall, I've worked at Ben Lomond for over 30 years and hope you enjoy this podcast!
