RE: Birch Tar
Birch is such a fantastically versatile tree, and will grow in the harshest of conditions. Sap is drinkable. Bark can be used for all kinds of construction tasks.

Cross-referring to the Ben Fogle thread, if I was that crofting family I'd be devoting the windward side of my 8 acres to planting birch, scots pine and willow. Birch for versatility, scots pine for hardiness and willow for fast-growing firewood.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.
