Original Otter Haven hide under construction
The images are courtesy of Inverness, Ross and Skye Forest District and staff at their Fort Augustus office.
A group of men (FC Staff) working on the first Otter Haven hide built on the Skye side of the Kylerhea narrows just above the navigation light. All hands (in previous photograph) to the task of mixing, pouring and levelling the concrete base for the hide on a lovely winter or early spring day. In this photo the two men have been tentatively named below but any updates and corrections very welcome. The year has not been confirmed and guessed as at around 1984.

Note the pocket communication radio sitting on the pices of new wood. Looks like a Storno make?
