1 In 1859, or i86o, Mr W. F. Skene, when reading these notes in proof, kindly furnished me with the additional fact that the well-known Macdonell of Glengarry built one of these wattled houses at Inverie, and occupied it as a summer residence for many-years. Mr Skene adds that he has often slept in it.

7 An oratory built of wood, wattling, or clay was said to be built ‘after the manner of the Scots’, and one of stone ‘after the Roman manner ’. The wooden oratory which King Edwin erected at York was enclosed in the stone church which he afterwards built there; and William of Malmesbury tells us that the ‘old church of wattled work ’ —St. Mary of Glastonbury—was, at the end of the sixth century, ‘covered with a coating of boards’ by order of Paulinus, Bishop of York.
