Dychlie is a deserted settlement comprising the remains of historic crofts located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents the physical evidence of rural habitation that was abandoned, reflecting the broader processes of agricultural change and population movement that characterised the Scottish Highlands and Islands during the post-medieval period. The crofts survive as earthwork remains and structural foundations scattered across the landscape, testifying to the modest domestic and agricultural life of their former inhabitants. This type of settlement abandonment was common across the region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when economic pressures and social upheaval transformed the pattern of rural settlement in Argyllshire.
