Scope and Content Shielings, Bynack Burn, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire The glens of the Mar Lodge Estate are dotted with the remains of some 300 shielings, or small huts, in which people lived during the spring and summer when the cattle were grazed on higher pastures. A group of six shieling-huts lies on this hillside above the Bynack Burn. They are 2.65m to 7.2m long, and the two largest huts are divided into two rooms. The remains of the stone walls of three huts can be seen in the centre of this photograph. Mar Lodge estate was part of the medieval Earldom of Mar. The Forest of Mar became a hunting reserve in medieval times and was revived as such in the 19th century, after a period of sheep-farming in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
