Based on The Arnol Blackhouse on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland.

It was the norm for a long time on the Isle of Lewis for Human and livestock to live in the same house, providing warmth and reducing the number of buildings needed... This is based of one of these such house, specifically The Arnol Blackhouse. 

It may not be scale, and certainly only approximates the inside decorations, but it will give you a feel of what a Blackhouse would have been like, in a game played by many.

Credit goes to The Arnol Blackhouse (Historic Scotland), for preserving it, and giving me the idea to create this. Thank you.

Included:
- A large, walled of area for livestock to graze
- The Blackhouse itself, and ajoining stacking yard
- A horse paddock
- Livestock (including chickens!)
- A nearby river for water
- A nearby town for trade (but I had to cut it down a bit after spawning errors)
