"A lack of roads and an abundance of water meant that boats were in use in Scotland from prehistoric times onwards. The building of crannogs and other lake dwellings suggest that boats must have been used, and canoes made from hollowed logs have been found in lochs, such as Loch Kinnord , Aberdeenshire. This wooden paddle-blade was found in Loch Kinnord, Tullich, Aberdeenshire, and probably was used with a hollowed log boat. Its exact date is unknown, but there is evidence of settlement on and around this loch from prehistoric times into the 18th century. This is a find from a wetland where organic remains are often well-preserved, and is an excellent example of how much more information about prehistoric material can be obtained from a waterlogged site than a dry one."
