Red Kite Yurts
Yurts Custom Built in Scotland
Yurts - continued...
A Yurt, Djurt, Ger or Boz üy will typically house one family with
several children and probably an elderly relative. The yurt is
usually put up with the door facing south or towards a river. The
space inside is very well organised and everything has its place.
Among Mongolian people, whose religion is mainly Buddhist, an altar
with statues and lamps
traditionally occupies the space opposite the entrance. Among Islamic Turkic people such as the Kazakhs or the
Kyrgyz, this area may have a wonderful display of bedding and
textile work to show off the skills of the wife of the family.
