Much of the area was essentially a swamp years ago, but now comprises farm land. There is also an ancient stone circle close by to the village, purportedly of Pictish origin. Shiskine is close to the peaks of Ben Nuis and Ben Bharrain. Burn is a Scots word for a large stream or a small river. The term burn is used in Scotland and England, especially North East England, and in parts of Ulster, Australia and New Zealand.
