Cable crane Glen Brittle Forest Skye
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many forestry photographs in his forestry career and many are now shown on this web site. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.
An Igland cable crane in action in Glen Brittle forest, one of two on this particular road. The Leyland tractor has a FC Number but is difficult to make out but could be 67266. The large picture may help to clarify the number and the winch operator. Can he be named?
The additional images in the PDF show more of the scene and may help identify the exact location. The last image shows an independent loader sitting on a side road and also another small tractor by its self.
Does anyone have any information on these machines and operators?
