bower ")  , primarily a temporary dwelling of boughs or other slight materials . Later the word gained the special meaning of a market stall or any non-permanent erection, such as a tent at a fair, where goods were on sale . Later still it was applied to the temporary structure where votes were registered, viz. polling-booth . Temporary booths erected for the weekly markets naturally tended to become permanent shops . Thus Stow states that the houses in Old Fish Street, London, " were at first but movable boards set out on market days to show their fish there to be sold; but procuring licence to set up sheds, they grew to shops, and by little and little, to tall houses." As bothy or bothie, in Scotland, meaning generally a hut or cottage, the word was specially applied to a barrack-like room on large farms where the unmarried labourers were lodged . This, known as the Bothy system, was formerly common in Aberdeenshire and other parts of northern Scotland .
