Scope and Content Paddle from crannog at Loch Glashan, Kilmichael Glassary, Mid Argyll, Argyll and Bute The logboat (otherwise known as a 'dugout' or 'canoe') is a simple and 'primitive' boat, but this does not imply that it is necessarily early, most examples recovered being medieval or later in date. In 1960, excavation of this crannog revealed, among other wooden artifacts, a paddle, which is now held in Glasgow Art Gallery; it is of rough workmanship, worked from heavily-knotted timber, asymmetrical in form and undoubtedly used for navigation.
