Creag Bhreac Shielings is a cluster of ancient pastoral shelters located in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises multiple shieling structures positioned at approximately 750 metres south-east and 1100 metres east-north-east of Creag Bhreac, representing seasonal settlements used for transhumance pastoralism during the medieval period and beyond. Shielings of this type were temporary dwellings occupied by herders and their livestock during summer grazing months, typically featuring simple stone-built or turf-constructed shelters.
