Description:
|
This detail from the 'Map of the Forrest of Mamlorne' shows a series of small named settlements some of which are described as shielings. shielings were settlements used in the summer for grazing cattle and sheep on the hill land away from the main settlement. Most of the Mamlorne shielings are situated alongside Loch Lyon or the burns draining into it. Water was essential both for the animals to drink and for the making of butter and cheese with the summer flush of milk. Some shielings were colonized as permanent settlements, but few of these survived the Clearances. The 1867 Ordnance Survey of Perthshire shows only one of the settlements on the 1735 map, Loubeskernich (Lubhrasgarnich) at the eastern end of Loch Lyon.
