    Folklore.
    Long ago the houses were built with do-buidhe.They were hipped houses and a small little hole in the end of them for a chimney.
    They had no windows but a little hole in the wall and they used to stick out their hat in it at night to keep out the cat from the milk. The doors were only half doors and knitted wire on top.
