Rain that falls not down, but sideways, driven by a hundred-mile-an-hour gale. A landscape of unforgiving beauty, where the North Atlantic wages a relentless war against the land. This was the world of the 18th and 19th-century Scottish crofter. During the Highland Clearances between 1750 and 1860, over 100,000 families were driven from their ancestral lands, forced to scratch a living from the thin, rocky soil of the coast and islands. Here, survival was a daily battle against storms that could level a modern house in minutes. They had no steel, no concrete, no power tools—only the stones beneath their feet, the turf on the hills, and a stubborn refusal to be broken. They built homes that were not just shelters, but fortresses of earth and stone, designed to disappear into the landscape and shed the wind like water off a duck's back. These were not the log cabins of the forest, but something far older, a building tradition stretching back to the Neolithic age. They understood that to survive the storm, you did not fight it—you yielded to it, becoming part of the land itself. But how did they build walls that could withstand hurricane-force winds without mortar to bind them? What secrets of turf and thatch kept them dry in a place where it rained over 250 days a year? And how did they live, breathe, and endure in these tiny, smoke-filled homes, with their precious livestock as their only companions? From timber in the forests to stone in the mountains… every culture built to survive. This is Timber & Stone. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 — Introduction 00:01:52 — Chapter 1 - The Blackhouse 00:06:33 — Chapter 2 - The Roof 00:11:58 — Chapter 3 - The Hearth 00:16:31 — Chapter 4 - The Byre ———————————————————————————————————————————————— All materials in these videos are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
