Lochan na Lairige shieling group E is a medieval pastoral settlement located in Perthshire, Scotland, comprising part of a broader shieling complex used for seasonal livestock herding. The group consists of the characteristic low stone structures typical of Highland shielings, which served as temporary summer dwellings for herders and their animals during transhumance practices. Dating to the medieval period, this site reflects the established pastoral economy of the Scottish Highlands where communities moved livestock to upland pastures during the warmer months. The physical remains, recorded under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM10411, provide archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and land use practices that were fundamental to Highland life before the clearances of later centuries.
