I think there is a move away from providing dig accommodation these days but some units will actually put you up in a B+B for the duration. Beats a tent in the Borders on a wild and woolly night in the autumn.
My own favourite dig accommodation was a couple of old farm cottages near Melrose; no carpets, rather run down, the roof was just about on and they did have running water. The site offices were downstairs where the site director's children were allowed to play on the computers and wipe the site records, amongst other things. I recently saw the same cottages advertised for sale for an extortionate sum. They looked quite nice once they had been done up.
