Yes, I concur with you that glass windows must have been a rare luxury item back then. Same thing over here in Finland, heck, some of the castles got their own glass masters in 16th century, must have taken couple of hundred years more that an average person got glass windows for his hovel :)

My lot must have stolen some glass from Edinburgh.
Some more progress

Start of the roof

Towelling stuck on with white glue

Little bits of cat litter tied with some string

And some progress on my first clansman, the 2' rule will apply with these figures

And that's why the Englishmen appear to kick few doors down :D

House will look great when finished. And keen to see few minis finished as well.

WOW! :o the buildings cracking! I love the details of the ropes with the rocks weighing down!

One minor point though(and this is more a personal thing) would you not be better rounding off the base? It's just, straight lines hardly appear in nature, unless manmade.

Nice stockings! (You'll go blind)

The croft looks great.

I'm not sure it would have had glass back then though.

Glass or no glass, -and I thought wargamers were sticklers for historically accurate detail- the model has oodles of character
