Scope and Content Paddle from group found near a probable crannog in Ravenstone Moss, Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway 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. This paddle is in the National Museum of Scotland. Its unusual asymmetric form may be due to wear, may suggest an identification as a rudder or may indicate that it was used for some purpose other than navigation.
