Scope and Content Geldie Lodge, Glen Geldie, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire When the Forest of Mar was returned to its former status as a hunting forest in the mid 19th century, substantial houses were built in a number of glens to accommodate the keepers and to act as lodges for the hunters. The original keeper's lodge was a simple rectangular building, here shown in black. In the late 19th century, a south wing was added, and around 1900 west and east wings were built. Finally a passage linked the south and west wings. 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.
