Scope and Content Red House, 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. Looking along Glen Geldie at the point where the Geldie Burn and the Bynack Burn meet. The red-roofed building is Red House, a keeper's cottage now abandoned and empty. It was built in three bays with a corrugated iron roof. 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.
