Overview

History & significance

Meall Uaine is a group of three prehistoric round houses situated on the slopes north-east of Loch Scoly in Perthshire, Scotland. The three structures, positioned at approximately 940 metres, 1020 metres and 1040 metres elevation, represent domestic settlement activity from the Iron Age or possibly the Bronze Age period. Round houses of this type were typical of Scottish Highland settlement patterns during the later prehistoric period, serving as permanent or semi-permanent dwellings for pastoral and agricultural communities. The remains survive as structural traces visible in the landscape, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement distribution and land use in upland Perthshire.
