There's a hole in the roof, where the rain comes in. Jamie's tried to patch it, but it never seems to stick. He's not very good at repairs - his hand lacks the dexterity it had when he was younger, due to the accident.
He survived Culloden. Lived through the aftermath, but for what? He has no wife, no children. He can barely support himself, let alone anyone else. It's only through the kindness of what's left of his family he has a roof over his head. It's pity, more than anything else.
He hasn't touched the bagpipes in years. He can't play them anymore. He just lives his life, day by day, and keeps trying to patch the roof.
