shieling visits
I like to use the word shieling rather than the write-around of summer pastures. Shielings are exactly what they are and there are still working ones in Sweden that function in the same way as the now unused Scottish ones, albeit that they are now used for cultural tourism as well.
Note from asker:
| Don't get me wrong. I really did like "shielings", but as this text is intended for an international audience I decided against it. |

If you google shieling and sheiling you'll see that it is very widespread, particularly in the UK, though more often used now as a name for houses, as the orginial shielings are no longer in use.
