A croft is a particular type of land tenure, with or without a dwelling. It was only fairly recently that crofters were able to buy their crofts, but the sale of them is controlled. In GH I had Ennis's father buying a croft that adjoined the farm, merging the land with his own, selling his farmhouse and moving into the cottage that had come with the croft.
Well, that would have been next to impossible; for crofts to be decrofted there has to be a good reason for doing so. This isn't one!

yeah well that's because I didn't have a clue! hehehe. And at one time you know I was actually paid to translate British idiom to American idiom so I know a LOT of those words. "Warshbag" eluded me!

Someone told me later on...it's toiletry bag. (Which is what we call a similar bag for women over here).

Toiletry bag...I have also heard make up case. My husband and I call it a bathroom bag, but I think that is our own slang.

yeah, for a guy I always just call it a shaving kit... even if it has more than shaving stuff in it. But I think that's just me, so you probably shouldn't use that...
