Blackwood of Rannoch — Native Woodland 1976
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.
This image of the Blackwood of Rannoch was probably taken while George was in the Rannoch area working on the potential acquisition of a large area of hill land for planting. He made quite a number of visits in his role as acquisitions officer and was helped by Pat Garrow the Chief Forester as well as Forester John Stannard and staff (Willie) who drove the Argo cat and Bobby Robertson the Snowcat.
The attached PDF shows a lean-to high seat for use in controlling deer within the Blackwood. Note the regeneration of birch and some Scots pine.
