Scope and Content Sheep-dip, Glen Geldie, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire When the land was cleared for sheep, new structures were required for sheep-farming, such as large enclosures, shepherd's bothies, small pens and sheep-dips. Two sheep-dips were created beside the Geldie Burn. Near Ruigh nan Clach are the remains of a sheep-dip. The plan shows, top left, the earthen ramp that gave access to a wooden run supported on the two surviving rows of stones and leading to the dip-tank. Sheep were dried on the cobbled stand. 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.
