Scope and Content Geldie Lodge, Glen Geldie, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire When the Forest of Mar was returned to its former status as a hunting forest in the mid 19th century, substantial houses were built in a number of glens to accommodate the keepers and to act as lodges for the hunters. The original modest keeper's house was extended to accommodate shooting guests and to reorientate the house towards the finest view northwards up the glen. Three gable-walls survive full height. The corners and openings have dressed granite blocks. 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.
