Plans for the new £12 million Scottish Crannog Centre have been submitted to Perth and Kinross Council.

The current site is described as being "overwhelmed" by the expanding neighbouring marina holiday resort. The design statement submitted to Perth and Kinross Council states the move to Dalerb - directly across the water - will "allow the museum to realise its full potential on the new site".
Plans for the new centre were this month submitted to Perth and Kinross Council by LDN Architects LLP. Members of the public have until June 10 to comment on the application.
The centre's vision is to be a "national treasure admired by all, with social justice at its heart".
