Oh yeah, I trust you know about :
Hypertext Webster Gateway: "shiel"
>From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)
Shiel \Shiel\, n. A sheeling. [Scot.] --Burns.
Which leads to :
Sheeling \Sheel"ing\, n. [Icel. skj?l a shelter, a cover; akin to Dan. &
Sw. skjul.] A hut or small cottage in an expessed or a retired place (as
on a mountain or at the seaside) such as is used by shepherds,
fishermen, sportsmen, etc.; a summer cottage; also, a shed. [Written
also {sheel}, {shealing}, {sheiling}, etc.] [Scot.]
So you can pass of your company as a shelter n 1: a structure that
provides privacy and protection from danger.
