Alltan na Beinne is a shieling site located approximately 1600 metres south-east of Carn Allt na Beinne in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Shielings were temporary pastoral settlements used by Highland and upland communities for transhumant herding, typically occupied during summer months when livestock were moved to higher pastures. The site likely dates to the early modern period, reflecting the pastoral economy and seasonal movement patterns that characterized upland settlement in Scotland. Such structures represent important archaeological evidence of medieval and early modern Highland land use and the pastoral traditions that sustained rural communities in the region.
