NN 92320 86820 A walkover survey was commissioned by The National Trust for Scotland, ahead of a tree planting scheme at the Black Bothy and shielings (Canmore ID: 81012), Mar Lodge Estate, Braemar. The survey was designed to identify and record visible archaeological remains near the Black Bothy and shielings in order to inform a tree-planting scheme. A basic survey was carried out on existing structures, noted within the HER at this location. The survey aimed to provide data including the location, character and extent of these features. The survey also sought to identify previously unrecorded sites, located along the Allt a’ Chaorainn burn, which may pertain to the Black Bothy and shielings site. The walkover survey identified and recorded fourteen features including structures, a mound and shallow pits.
