	CRANNOG - LoveToKnow Article on CRANNOG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The existence of these lakedwellings in Scotland was first made known by John Mackinlay, a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, in a letter sent to George Chalmers, the author of Caledonia, in 1813, describing two crannogs, or fortified islands in Bute.
		In the register of the privy council of Scotland, April 14, 1608, it is ordered that the haill houssis of defence, strongholds, and crannokis in the Yllis (the western isles) pertaining to Angus MConneill of Dunnyvaig and Hector MCloyne of Dowart sal be delyverit to His Majestie.
		Judging from the historical evidence of their late continuance, and from the character of the relics found in them, the crannogs may be included among the latest prehistoric strongholds, reaching their greatest development in early historic times, and surviving through the middle ages.
