Pushing the boat out at Granton!

The School of Ancient Crafts have been working alongside Granton:Hub volunteers in an experimental archaeology project to re-create a Scottish Iron Age log boat.

After many months of construction and delays due to the pandemic, the log boat is ready to be launched and have a new life on the sea.

The launch will take place on Sunday (20th June) and will begin at the log boat’s current location in granton:hub’s community garden at Madelvic House.  The log boat will be transported by a group of volunteers using traditional means – log-rolling – down to Granton Harbour.

You are welcome to join this journey as it takes place from 9.30am.
