Gayle joins a ‘crannog cruise’ on Loch Tay and discovers the secrets of these ancient islands.

Flanked by the towering bulk of Ben Lawers to the north, the loch is in a remote, peaceful setting, enjoyed by watersports enthusiasts, locals and tourists alike.

This was our way of extending our help even though we are far from home.”
