Full Description

This shieling is situated by Allt a' Ghiubhais, above the old track. The uppermost feature consists of an outline of stones amid an area of Old Caledonian Pines and measures c 1.5m by 2.5m. The lower feature is on a small knoll on the W side of the burn and measures c 1.5m diameter. There is an area of improved pasture adjacent to these. Between the two, on a small flat area close to the burn, were the remains of a bothy which was very likely a 'tigh dubh' for an illicit still.
