Loch Maree and Islands with NCC

Date Added: 02 February 2015 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1983 Picture No: 2839

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.

One of three photographs of a small group of people visiting some of the islands in Loch Maree. The hosts for the day were Nature Conservancy Council staff (Now SNH) accompanying some Forestry Commission staff. Only one person is definitely recognised and he is head forester Donald Beaton with the bag over his shoulder. Another gentleman with yellow band at bottom of his wellington boots looks somewhat like forester Jim Seaton.

Any confirmation and other names very welcome.

Not Jim Seaton! Definitely Edwin Cross (with specs), NCC/SNH warden at Beinn Eighe NNR. Probably Steve Smith, 3rd from left who was at Slattadale with Donald Beaton, who was Head Forester at Achnashellach/Slattadale. The Jim Seaton lookalike has an SNH red covered notebook in one of the pdf photos! Comment left on 29 August 2017 at 15:43 by Malcolm Wield
