White Loch crannog is an Iron Age to Medieval artificial island settlement located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland. The site consists of a timber-built dwelling platform constructed within the loch, a settlement type characteristic of prehistoric and early medieval Scotland that provided defensive advantages and access to freshwater resources. Occupation of the crannog appears to span from the Iron Age through the Medieval period, indicating prolonged use across multiple centuries. The remains, now submerged or partially preserved, represent an important archaeological record of domestic settlement patterns and construction techniques in south-western Scotland during these periods.
