Ironbridge Type Coracle made in April 2006 under the tutelage of Kevin Grimley now needs a new home where it can be treasured and used. Still watertight and in good condition. Dimensions are: 140cm/55¼” long, 124.5cm/49” beam and 31cm/12¼” depth. Comes with paddle 140cm/55¼” long. Also supplied can be a pair of transporting bars to fit the roof rack bars of a vehicle which prevent movement while travelling.

The Society is sad to announce the passing of member and former committee member, Bruce Watson.
In 1975, an early Bronze Age cemetery was exposed during the ploughing of some ancient meadows on the Barns Farm, near Dalgety, Fife. On the shores of the Firth of Forth. Amongst the numerous burial cist discoveries, were three apparent coracle burials, each contained human remains.
As we enter the cold, damp, dark part of the year I thought I would share some colourful photos from several coracling trips in the lakes during Autumn. Hopefully these will help provide some brightness until spring arrives and more comfortable paddling can recommence.

Coracle Cwlwm from Anglesey was in London as part of an inspiring exhibition.
Our self-made coracle was included as a part of a monumental exhibition titled ‘Come As you Really Are’, conceived by artist and filmmaker Hetain Patel and produced by ArtAngel - a celebration of the nations’ passions, hobbies, creative acts and collections. The exhibition includes over 15,000 incredible objects and creations.
Is the future of Coracles in danger? Is there a new kid in the harbour? What are they actually called?
Out with the old and in with the new! 2024 has been disappointing for the Club at the Highland Folk Museum. As previously reported, our ‘home’ there, the Mill Pond, was badly damaged by Storm Arwen in November 2021.
Sadly we have to cancel this year as one of the organisers is ill, leaving just one person to run the whole regatta. Regrettably, this is the second year running we have had to cancel this regatta.
If you've been following our news, you will know that a new project has started this year with the aim of preserving the craft of coracles and coraclemaking, rated as endangered on the Heritage Crafts Association's Red List, for future generations to enjoy.
