Shielings are traditionally shelters on the high and remote summer livestock grazing. Most of the old original shielings, constructed of stone with heather thatched roofs are now ruins. These are more of a weekend getaway where those that have the necessary common rights can spend a bit of "off grid" time while, perhaps, digging peat for their winter fuel.
I like the subtle blending of the colors drawing the eye to the shieling . . good composition and balance with the colors and finishing.
