Summary
People used to go to the sheilings in summer; ruins still to be seen around Killin.
Before the Clearances, up to about 1850, the crofters at Killin used to go up the hills to the sheilings and live there in summer, making butter and cheese. The ruins of the buildings can still [1964] be seen on the hills near Killin.
