There
are more than 150 alder or oak trees, each 8 to 10 metres
in height, forming the stilts or piles that support
the Crannog reconstruction's timber platform. Monitoring
the exposure to severe wave action and winds of up to
100 mph or more indicates the average pile lasts between
5 and 10 years. Several have been replaced already,
but many more are required. You can help by donating
funds to cover the cost of felling, hauling, replacing,
or monitoring a pile. Currently this ranges from £50
to £250, depending upon the activity, the timber's
species, and the location of the timber within the building.
Should you wish, your name or company will be noted
on a master plan in the Visitor Centre and on these
pages showing the location of sponsored piles. Please
contact us for
details.
