Crannog Restaurant opened its doors in 1989, and has been serving excellent Scottish seafood ever since. 

​

Crannogs were ancient settlements built on lochs by Celts in Scotland and Ireland. Fishing was an integral part of the Crannog communities, and they thrived in their self-sufficient lifestyle. 

​

Lorna and Finlay Finlayson felt the name Crannog embodied their vision perfectly; a concept built on strong fishing roots and community. People, seafood and integrity are still at the centre of Crannog's values. 

 

The restaurant itself is set on a pier on the edge of Loch Linnhe, also reminiscent of a traditional Crannog. The building has a long history, including use as a ferry terminal, a war look out point and Finlay's fishing store shed. It was then re-designed and renovated in 1988 to house what is now Crannog Restaurant.
