The
Scottish Trust |
The Scottish Trust for Underwater Archaeology is an independent charitable organisation formed to promote the research, recording, and protection of Scotland's underwater heritage. Towards realising these aims, the Trust carries out surveys and excavations, provides advice and expertise, and tries to increase awareness in the underwater heritage through education, publication, and exhibition. The STUA also liaises with statutory and other organisations, including environmental groups, in an attempt to ensure that underwater archaeology is considered in management and conservation strategies.
The trading arm of the STUA is the Scottish Crannog Centre, a complex in Loch Tay where a full-sized reconstruction of a crannog and a display centre can be visited and where activities based on ancient craft skills can be experienced.
