Badnagoach is a shieling group located approximately one kilometre south-south-east of Badnagoach in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Shielings were temporary seasonal settlements used by pastoral communities, particularly during the summer months for transhumance grazing practices. This group represents the material evidence of Highland pastoral economy and land use patterns, likely dating to the medieval or early modern period when such seasonal occupation was a standard feature of Scottish Highland and upland agricultural practice. The site's physical remains contribute to understanding the settlement patterns and resource management strategies of pre-industrial rural communities in northeast Scotland.
