A Highland Washing "The picturesque method of performing the household wash is a familiar sight in Scotland in the spring and early summer. At that period, when the 'hoose' is receiving its annual thorough cleansing, the heavier fabrics, such as blankets, are washed in this manner and much fatigue thereby avoided." |
