Loch of Leys crannog, Aberdeenshire

A crannog is situated in the Loch of Leys (drained in 1850 and now a marsh) 400m NNW of Lochton of Leys. At the end of the 18th century 'ruins of houses, and of an oven' were recorded upon it and during the drainage operations a ' millstone' was found on the crannog, and five bronze vessels of medieval date, two dugout canoes (one 100m NNE of the crannog), coins, and part of a red deer skeleton were also recovered from the bed of the loch. The crannog is said to have been a residence of the Wauchope family until the 14th century and subsequently, of the Burnetts, prior to the building of Crathes Castle (3Km to the ESE) in the 16th century.
