Scope and Content Shieling, Geldie Burn, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire When the land was cleared for sheep, new structures were required for sheep-farming, such as large enclosures, shepherd's bothies, small pens and sheep-dips. Two sheep-dips were created beside the Geldie Burn. These stone foundations represent one of six shieling-huts beside the Geldie Burn. Nearby, but not visible in this photograph, are a sheep-pen, a stock enclosure and a sheep-dip. 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.
