Sitka spruce logs at South Strome Forest
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.
Head Forester Alex Forsyth checks out some very large Sitka spruce logs recently felled in South Strome Forest.
Can anyone identify this location in the forest?

It's at the head of Strath Ascaig, now known better as "The Glen Road".

A rough count of the tree rings puts the age of the trees at between 35-40 years old - proof positive that Scotland is capable of growing the fastest trees in the world! - as so often claimed. Well done Strath Archiag forestry squads.
