English: The Cruick Cottage The Cruck Cottage, Shieldhill Road, Torthorwald, Dumfries, Scotland, was originally constructed in the mid 18th century or thereabouts.
It is of the cruck construction common at that time, i.e. the main supports consist of oak crucks or trunks, which support the roof. The roof consists of counter tie beams and branch rafters, laid with heather turf, and thatched with rye straw. The original walls would be of clay or turf, but are now built with rubble and lime mortar. http://www.cruckcottage.zoomshare.com/
