Scope and Content Bynack Lodge, Glen Bynack, 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. Amongst the outbuildings belonging to the Lodge is a subterranean cold-store. A curving stair of five stone steps lead down into a stone-lined chamber, 2m long, 1.2m wide and 1m deep. The roof was presumably timber-framed. 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.
