Scope and Content Lime kiln, Dubrach, Glen Dee, 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. The kiln is D-shaped with the entrance into the flue in the straight side of the D. The flue is 6.3m long and is roofed at the entrance with a large stone slab. The kiln-bowl is 2.5m in diameter, but the roof has collapsed. 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.
