Re-evaluation of recorded sites and new field survey have identified 30 island dwellings in Shetland which are argued to be part of the wider Scottish Iron Age crannog building tradition. Four were subject to field survey above and below water and found to be at least partly artificial. The morphology, distribution and chronology of Shetland’s artificial islands are discussed and compared to the rest of Scotland emphasizing their parallels. The results support the recent move towards considering islet duns and brochs as crannogs. These newly identified sites in Shetland underline the ubiquity of the crannog building tradition in Scotland. Through discussion of the morphology, distribution and chronology of crannogs in Shetland and the rest of Scotland, it is argued that artificial island dwelling is a widely shared cultural practice and an underlying principle of Scottish Iron Age settlement.

位于北纬 60° 的岛屿住宅：铁器时代设得兰群岛中 CRANNOGS 的新证据

对记录地点的重新评估和新的实地调查确定了设得兰群岛的 30 座岛屿住宅，这些住宅被认为是更广泛的苏格兰铁器时代建筑传统的一部分。四个在水上和水下进行了实地调查，发现至少部分是人造的。讨论了设得兰群岛人工岛的形态、分布和年代，并与苏格兰其他地区进行了比较，强调了它们的相似之处。结果支持最近考虑将胰岛沙丘和胸针视为 crannogs 的举措。这些设得兰群岛新发现的遗址突显了苏格兰 crannog 建筑传统的普遍性。通过讨论设得兰群岛和苏格兰其他地区 crannogs 的形态、分布和年代学，.
