prevailing on the island at the close of the nineteenth century.
There are very few old-fashioned thatched cottages to be seen today
in the Highlands. A hundred years or so ago thatched houses were
very much a part of the Highland scene and within their walls, by
the light of the peat fire - the crofters of the Islands kept alive
the songs and stories which have made the Hebrides famous throughout
the world.
