===================================================================

Bastle houses are found along the Anglo-Scottish border, in the areas formerly plagued by border Reivers. They are farmhouses, characterized by extremely tight measures taken against raids. Their name is said to derive from the French word "bastille."
The characteristics of the classic bastle house are extremely thick stone walls (1 meter or so), with the ground floor devoted to stable-space for the most valuable animals, and usually a stone vault between it and the first (American second) floor. The family's living quarters were on the floor above the ground, and during the times prior to the suppression of the reivers, were only reachable by a ladder which was pulled up from the inside at night. The only windows were narrow arrow slits. The roofs were usually made of stone slate to resist attempts at arson.
Bastle houses have many characteristics in common with military blockhouses, the main difference being that a bastle house was intended primarily as a family dwelling, instead of a pure fortification.
