1 In the west of Scotland, at this present time, in many cottages, they pile their peats and
turfs upon stones in the middle of the room. There is a hole above the fire in the ridge of
the house to let the smoke out at. In some places are cottage-houses, from the front of which
a very wide chimney projects like a bow-window: the fire is in a grate, like a malt-kiln grate,
round which the people sit: sometimes they draw this grate into the middle of the room.-
(Mr. LAMBE.)

retired part of the house. The daughter (p. 51) did not lie out of doors.-The cottagers often
desire their landlords to build them a BUT, and a BEN. (Vid. Gloss. to Vol. III.)—Mr. LAMBE.
