Where the Allt Airigh Thalabairt enters the Kinloch Glen there are four shieling huts. The grass-grown remains of two lie immediately E of the stream. The third is about 50m to the W, and consists of an oval hut (2.5m by 2m internally) which sits on the ruins of a larger structure measuring 5.4m over all; to the S there is a small group of lazy-beds. The fourth hut is situated about 60m E of the stream and immediately S of the path to Kinloch; it has two compartments (2.9m by 2.3m and 2.4m in diameter respectively) and is accompanied by a smaller cell a short distance to the W.
