Scope and Content Shieling, Black Bothy, Glen Geldie, 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. In the foreground, close to the Geldie Burn, are the grass-covered outlines of a double shieling-hut. The smaller building was probably a milking shed. 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.
