The photographs are courtesy of Will Anderson, Seafield and Strathspey Estates. Will worked for a period with the Forestry Commission in Tulliallan Nursery and surrounding forests.

The osier basket pictured was made from willow material that apparently used to be sent from Tulliallan Nursery to the Royal School for the Blind in Edinburgh (Craig Miller Park?) to be made into woven items.
