Short video of the women of Dalavich cutting bracken and having a tea break. The video is courtesy of Jas Duffy of Dalavich and features at least four ladies cutting bracken presumably weeding Forestry Commission trees on a hillside around 1970.

Unfortunately there is no other information. Names and any details would be very welcome indeed.

We have just managed to recover this video loaded by Gordon Urquhart in 2007 and it is now available to view again. The video is by Jas Duffy and features four ladies weeding bracken in a forestry area near Dalavich.

Does anyone know Jas Duffy and any of the ladies? Comment left on 24 June 2016 at 16:56 by Norman Davidson
