Abstract
FOR the first time one of the very numerous artificial islands on the Scottish lochs has been examined with a technical skill comparable to that so profitably expended on the crannogs of Somerset and more recently of Ireland. Fortunately, the engineers in charge of the Lochaber Water Power Scheme appreciated the scientific importance of the crannog in the north end of Loch Treig that the scheme had exposed and would destroy. Still more fortunately Prof. Ritchie, then at the University of Aberdeen, was able to take advantage of the opportunity for a thorough investigation of the island's structure.
