Summary "Ancient Scottish Lake-Dwellings or Crannogs" by Robert Munro is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the fascinating archaeological discoveries regarding ancient lake-dwellings in Scotland, specifically focusing on the crannogs—artificial islands often constructed in freshwater bodies. The book aims to present a comprehensive overview of these structures, combining recent findings with historical references to better understand their significance within the prehistoric context of Scotland. At the start of the volume, the author discusses the nature of prehistoric archaeology and the exceptional circumstances that preserve the remains of ancient human activities. Munro emphasizes the importance of lacustrine deposits and how they have contributed to our understanding of past civilizations. He further outlines the intent of the book, which is to compile a complete compendium of existing knowledge on Scottish lake-dwellings, touching on previous studies and laying the groundwork for the exploration of these archaeological sites. Overall, the opening portion introduces the reader to the overarching themes of preservation, historical significance, and the methodological approach of the research presented throughout the work.
