Shealings are small, temporary shelters traditionally used by farmers or shepherds in the Scottish Highlands and other rural areas. These shelters were typically made of turf, stone, or thatch, and provided protection from the elements for those working in remote or exposed locations. Shealings were often used during the summer months when livestock were brought to higher pastures, and served as a place to store supplies, seek shelter from inclement weather, or rest during long days of work.
