Largiebaan shielings are a group of ancient pastoral structures located approximately 750 metres south-west of Largiebaan in Argyllshire, Scotland. These sites represent the material remains of seasonal transhumance practices, whereby livestock were moved to upland pastures during summer months, a practice common throughout the Scottish Highlands and Islands from at least the medieval period onwards. The shielings comprise the characteristic low stone structures and associated enclosures typical of such temporary pastoral settlements, which would have housed herders and their equipment during the grazing season. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Records and contributes to understanding the long-established patterns of pastoral land use and settlement that characterised the rural economy of Argyll.
