Documentary series examining the development of rural housing in Scotland. In this episode, Ewen MacKinnon looks at thatched houses.

Anns an dàrna prògram san t-sreath ùr mu thaigheadas dùthchail na h-Alba, tha Eòghainn MacFhionghain a' coimhead air taighean tughaidh, agus an dlùth cheangal ri eachdraidh na Gàidhealtachd agus nan Eilean agus an cuid dhaoine. Tha iomadh dreach eadar-dhealaichte air an taigh-dubh cuideachd, agus chithear mar a chaidh cruthan ùra den nòs sònraichte seo de dhreach thaigheadais na h-Alba a bhrosnachadh.

Presenter Ewen MacKinnon looks at thatched houses, and the intrinsic part they have played in the history of the Highland and Islands and its people. There are also a number variations of the blackhouse, and we also see how it has inspired new versions of this iconic Scottish house style.
