The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many photographs in his forestry career and some are now shown on this web site. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.

Lovely view of the old office at Don View prior to the new office being built over near Balvack. Going by the telephone wires and painted door the Office must have been the small building next to the camera with the various stores and work shops nearer to the forestry worker houses with are just seen in the far background.

Can anyone name forester and clerical staff who worked here?

Your assumption regards the Office is correct and was the only building present on my arrival from
Achaglachgach in January 1961. Ben Ewan was Head Forester, Isobel Low was the clerkess and was succeeded by Winnie Lawie probably later that year.
