| Hi
I am helping on a research project relating to Scottish architecture in Nova
Scotia. My question relates to what we call Scottish dormers. These five
sided dormers, see
http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/virtual/...h=&SearchList1=
for an example.
Does this style of dormer really hail from scotland, and if so, were they
developed out of practicality or style.
Thanks for your time
therepo

I'm not sure if they hail from Scotland but they are pretty common here.
My own house has one.
Their purpose is probably more style than functionality, although the do
give a wider field of view than a flat front dormer.

IMHO they appear stylish only as they present to much
wall surface like radiator fins, requiring additional
insulation and attic ventillation.
However, I'd pick that style for a broader dormer,
it looks practical across >6 feet, and tends to become
a bay window.
But you know the Scottish, they don't wear panties.

You're the expert apparently. Are you a professional or an amateur?

opportunity..........

Scottish wife & I watched "Devil's Brigade" and
she enjoyed Richard Dawson's kilt fly up in a fight
scene, yup and he was wearing panties. But he's
english, so does that count?

Erm....As I understand it, no.
The wearing of panties is no surprise though as the *nglish have always been
a bit more effete than their northern neighbors.

The point that "Ken" has so skilfully glossed over though, of course,
is that the English wear panties because they're too embarrassed at
what people may not see - a real man!

tampax like, when Dianna needed a cucumber!
