Auchtermally is a deserted township in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, representing settlement patterns typical of the Highlands and Islands during the medieval and early modern periods. The site comprises the remains of traditional Highland settlement structures, characteristic of townships that were occupied over successive centuries before abandonment.
