More about this scene
Luss, on the shores of Loch Lomond, had a thriving cotton mill and slate quarries in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was once known as Clachan Dubh, (the dark village) because its mountain setting offered two hours less sunlight during winter evenings. Luss's vernacular cottages were described by James Denholm, in 1804 : 'the houses, in general, appear exceeding uncomfortable. They are mostly built of loose stones, perhaps with a layer of turf betwixt each row are covered with rushes; the produce of the Loch'.
