Title

Byre lantern

Description

Tradional Shetland farmsteads had outbuildings connected to the house, so people could go through to the byre to tend to the cattle, even in the strongest winter gale. For centuries light came from fish-oil lamps. Once imported glass became common around 1800, people used candle lanterns because they protected the flame from draughts.
