  2. In olden times the people had low thatched houses. They had the beds in the kitchen in olden times, because the houses were too small and too low. The little houses were called botháns. The fire-place was in the gable. There were no chimneys in the house, long ago, except what they called Scotch chimneys. They used to have only one pane of glass to let in the light. They had earthen floors in the house. Some of them used to have half-doors. It is "splinters" made of bog-deal they used for lights.
