Interpretative sign at a local legend landmark – Jean Carr’s stone in Slorach’s Wood, Fochabers
This Information sign along with quite number of others was mounted informally on the inside wall of a management shed in Newton Nursery. These obsolete signs had been removed from the various forest locations and perhaps used to brighten up an otherwise dull wooden wall. The colours have faded somewhat and the shed roof lights have added another colour variation.
It is difficult to date the sign but it features the Forest Enterprise name and two tree symbols indicating that the timing followed the push from about 1992 to publicise more strongly the role of Forest Enterprise as managers of the national forest areas. Any information would be very welcome. The vast majority of Forestry Commission and Forest Enterprise signs were drawn up by Forest Design and Interpretation Services based in Silvan House, Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh.
The very sad and disturbing story of the lady who endured some terrible conditions and possibly significant mental issues is well illustrated. The stone is located in Slorach’s Wood south of Fochabers and some details are to be found in Picture No 5649
