Mar Lodge Estate Grampian : An Archaeological Survey

Mar Lodge Estate Grampian : An Archaeological Survey is a report summarising the archaeological field work carried out on Mar Lodge Estate to record the human interaction within Mar Forest.

Human interaction with the woodland is central to the history of settlement in the area. As long as there has been settlement, for which there is evidence only from the medieval period onwards ... — Dixon & Green

Mar Lodge Estate Grampian : An Archaeological Survey is a good source for information on how Mar Forest was used from the 17th century to the 19th as it gives names, and dates to many of the ruins dotted across Mar Lodge Estate – and shows that people once worked, and more crucially lived, much further up the Glens of Mar Lodge Estate than they do today.

The ‘Grampian’ in the title refers to the former ‘Scottish Region’ that preceded the re-creation of Aberdeenshire in 1996 – not the mountain range.

Famous quotes containing the words mar, lodge, estate and/or survey:

    In those days, the blag slag, the waste of the coal pits, had only begun to cover the side of our hill. Not enough to mar the countryside nor blacken the beauty of our village. For the colliery had only begun to poke its skinny black fingers between the green.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    I would in rich and golden coloured raine,
    With tempting showers in pleasant sort discend,
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.
    Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    When I survey the wondrous cross
    On which the Prince of Glory died,
    My richest gain I count but loss,
    And pour contempt on all my pride.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
