Summary

• Back of the cottage in Fife where Duncan Williamson and his family were living in 1984 was this ruined farm building, a former bothy, or bunk house. In former years, buildings of this kind housed teams of farm workers who lived communally and did much of the seasonal work on which the economy of the farm was dependent.
