Allt Tobair Fhuair is a shieling settlement located approximately 2930 metres west of Aldachuie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Shielings of this type were seasonal pastoral settlements used from at least the medieval period through the early modern era, serving as temporary bases for herders managing cattle on upland summer pastures. The site comprises the characteristic low stone structures typical of such establishments, which were occupied on a transhumance basis during the grazing season. These settlements represent an important element of the Highland and upland farming economy, reflecting the pastoral land use patterns that sustained rural communities across Scotland for centuries.
