The Shieling Barvas and Brue is a reconstructed traditional sheiling hut located in the village of Brue on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Built by the Barvas and Brue Historical Society in 2017, it showcases the traditional sheiling hut lifestyle. The sheiling is a small, single-room structure constructed from locally sourced materials such as stone, turf, and thatch. It includes a bed and cooking utensils, providing insight into how shepherds lived while tending to their sheep.
