David and Moira Gracie
started Shieling Holidays on Mull 27 years ago.
David had to dry out an old
clinker lifeboat from a Clyde
Puffer before he mended it.
How could he do that on Mull in the winter?
Answer: put a Shieling tent
over it, so wind passing the open ends made a draught.
It all worked beautifully.
The Shieling Dryer was born, and has been drying clothes for us and our customers ever since.
David has patent 2321295
and trade marks 2121668 and 70. The covers are made and posted by
the team on Mull. Here they are in their Shieling timber
frame sailmaker's workshop.
The frames are made on the mainland and either delivered by us or by TNT.

We have 5 stars from Visit Scotland -

Shielings are called after the
summer cottages of Highland
shepherds, tending their flocks by
mountain and shore. A happy time;
long carefree island days.
