Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis
The blackhouse
buildings were usually built with double dry-stone-walls, which were packed with earth. The roof consisted of wooden rafters that were covered with a thatch of reed or cereal straw.
The flooring was traditionally just packed earth and sometimes had flagstones. There was no chimney for the smoke to escape through from the central hearth. The smoke made its way through the roof. This led to the soot blackening of the interior which may also have contributed to the adoption of name blackhouse.
