Aird Luing is an ancient earthwork situated on the island of Luing in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of an earthen fortification whose precise chronology and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though such works in the Hebridean and west Scottish context frequently date to the Iron Age or early medieval periods. The earthwork's physical form and defensive characteristics reflect settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the west of Scotland during prehistory or the early historical period. The site's location on Luing, an island within the Firth of Lorn, suggests it may have been associated with maritime activity or local control of sea routes in antiquity.
