Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis
The highlands and islands of Scotland were dotted with dwellings referred to as blackhouses
hundreds of years ago. They were long narrow buildings usually built parallel with each other.
They had dry stone walls and a thatched roof which was always blackened with the soot from the peat fire in the kitchen. They had no chimneys and small windows which caused the smoke from the fire to accumulate inside, escaping through the porous roof and hence blackening the roof.
