Forestry Memories

Cairnbaan Camp overlooking Wilson of Troon’s sawmill site circa 1969

The image is courtesy of Janet Quarton who worked at the camp during this period.

This slightly later image shows the sawmill site stacking area in some detail with the saw shed possibly to the right.Can anyone say when this mill was first set up and then closed down?

Note the helicopter spreading fertiliser on the forest trees beyond the canal. At this date almost certainly still Autair with its Bell helicopter and side pannier hoppers mounted directly onto the fuselage.
