Shiaba is a deserted township located on the Isle of Mull in Argyllshire, Scotland. The settlement comprises the remains of traditional buildings characteristic of the post-medieval Highland township form, with evidence of domestic and agricultural use typical of rural settlement patterns in the Hebrides. The site reflects the broader processes of depopulation and land use change that affected many Scottish island communities, particularly from the eighteenth century onwards. Archaeological investigation and landscape survey have recorded the physical remains as earthworks and structural foundations that contribute to understanding the settlement history and economic organisation of this marginal agricultural landscape.
