Douglas fir boards in Mosstodloch Mill

Date Added: 13 February 2017 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1971 Picture No: 3564

Photograph courtesy of David Foot, Surrey taken Aug 1971 shows stacks of boards in Riddoch of Rothiemay’s Mosstodloch Mill.

The boards in question were produced from Douglas fir logs which were felled in a very high quality stand of trees in Monaughty Forest from one of the Forestry Commission’s earliest plantings.

Can anyone name the mill worker?
