Scope and Content Township, Dalvorar, Glen Dee, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire The largest township on the Estate, Dalvorar has 20 buildings, 3 corn-drying kilns and 5 enclosures. It was converted to a sheep farm in the early 19th century and around 1832 to a keeper's house or lodge for hunting. Looking across the River Dee, the remains of the western part of the township are clearly visible on the flat grassland. One wall of the hunting lodge stands to a height of 2.5m, and there are the remaining traces of a window. 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.
