The above is given by Captain Thomas as an example of such dwellings "having oven-like bed-places around the internal area. This interesting summer house illustrates the most antique form of dormitory; but in the winter houses the floor of the bedroom was raised three or four feet above the ground." (Compare the side cells in Maes-How, Orkney.)] PLATE VI.--_Chambered Mound (Both Stacseal), near Stornoway, Lewis._ (From Plate XXXII. of Vol. VII. of _Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland_, First Series.) With reference to the _farlos_, or smoke-hole (otherwise "sky-light"), which, in this instance, is at a height of 7 feet from the floor of the dwelling, Captain Thomas remarks:--"A man, on standing upright, can often put his head out of the hole and look around" (_op. cit._, vol. iii., p. 130 _n._). This suggests the following story, told by Mr. J.F. Campbell (_West Highland Tales_, vol. ii., pp. 39-40): "There was a woman in Baile Thangusdail, and she was out seeking a couple of calves; and the night and lateness caught her, and there came rain and tempest, and she was seeking shelter. She went to a knoll with the couple of calves, and she was striking the tether-peg into it. The knoll opened. She heard a gleegashing (_gliogadaich_) as if a pot-hook were clashing beside a pot. She took wonder, and she stopped striking the tether-peg. A woman put out her head and all above her middle, and she said, 'What business hast thou to be troubling this tulman [mound] in which I make my dwelling?' 'I am taking care of this couple of calves, and I am but weak. Where shall I go with them?' 'Thou shalt go with them to that breast down yonder. Thou wilt see a tuft of grass. If thy couple of calves eat that tuft of grass, thou wilt not be a day without a milk cow as long as thou art alive, because thou hast taken my counsel.' "As she said, she never was without a milk cow after that, and she was alive fourscore and fifteen years after the night that was there." [Illustration: PLATE VII.
