Simon Fraser who was part of the Glenurquhart Forest work team watches as the Muskeg, probably driven by Dod MacLeman, reverses carefully off the lorry. Muskeg registration number could be THV359C

The rubber tracked Muskeg was a comparatively lightweight machine that could cross wet and soft peaty ground with a substantial load. The PDF shows the machine loaded with deer fencing straining posts heading to lay out the material on the line of the Corrimony ring fence.
