Scope and Content Lime kiln, Glen Lui, 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. These stones are the remains of a circular free-standing lime kiln. It consisted of a chamber and a flue and was designed to burn local limestone to produce lime as a dressing for the fields. Most townships in this area had such kilns. 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.
