Scope and Content Township at Allt an t'Sionnach, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire Townships are clusters of dwelling houses and barns, enclosures, kilns and cultivation rigs. They were the homes of people practising mixed farming, both cultivation of crops and stock-rearing, mostly cattle. Outlined by the snow in the centre of the photograph are the footings of six rectangular buildings, an enclosure and a circular corn-drying kiln close to the meandering burn that flows into Geldie Burn. 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.
