Loch na Buail'Iochdraich Shielings and Standing Stone is a Bronze Age monument complex located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises evidence of shieling activity, the temporary settlements used by pastoralists during seasonal transhumance, alongside a standing stone of Bronze Age date. Such monuments reflect the economic and settlement patterns of upland communities during the Bronze Age, when pastoral mobility formed a significant aspect of land use in the Scottish Highlands. The combination of shieling structures and standing stone at this location provides archaeological evidence for the relationship between ritual or territorial markers and the practical organisation of pastoral economies in prehistoric Scotland.
