Note 20 — CLAN TRADITIONS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Kiln (àth) here mentioned was in a thatched house about 17 feet long and 10 wide, the breast being about 5 feet deep, one being built in every township for preparing corn for grinding. Some peacefully disposed, observant old men (bodaichean sicire foirfe) built kilns in their own barns, to avoid being hindered or disturbed by their neighbours at their work.
