Dobhran takes to the water again

Granton’s very own hand carved 9-meter-long Iron Age logboat, Dobhran, will sail again today!

Today’s re-launch is at Granton Harbour between 12.30 – 1pm. All welcome to watch, cheer and clap.

‘Dobhran’ got severely damaged as Storm Arwen washed into Granton Harbour way back in ancient times; November 2021!

Volunteers from both The School of Ancient Crafts and Granton:Hub have worked hard … only teaditional Iron Age skills & techniques have been used in the fixing of ‘Dobhran’ logboat, and, no seals were harmed in the sealant process!
