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. From the air, four groups of shieling-huts can be seen near the confluence of the Bynack Burn with the Allt an t'Seilich. Three lie on the flood-plain and one on the hillside above. Some of the huts have walled yards attached to them. 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.
