Lilian Beckwith wrote a series of books about her experience of living in a Scottish crofting community, which I enjoyed very much. The Gaelic name of her rented house was something like Tigh-na-Mashroomaic, and it had a 'Wee Hoosie' at the bottom of the garden that had a 3 hole privy, the holes were not round but square. This was apparently done by a previous head of the household to render them uncomfortable and thereby stop his sons from spending too much time in there. After a great deal of persuasion she eventually found out that the translation of the house name into English was 'The House of the Square Bums'
