 The
Skye Museum of Island Life whose aim was to preserve a
township of thatched cottages, each one depicting, as closely as
possible, the conditions 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. |
