Good natural regeneration on Affric Islands (in Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin)

Good natural regeneration on Affric Islands (in Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin)

Date Added: 30 September 2024 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1990 Picture No: 5961

The photograph was taken by the late Finlay MacRae who was a District Officer in the Forestry Commission based in Dingwall at this time. The images are courtesy of his daughter Donna.

No details of the location of this image other than mention of Islands which probably refers to the islands created by damming the River Affric as part of the larger extensive Hydro scheme of the 1950s and 60s. Finlay is still obviously in 1990 looking for all the signs of natural regeneration and noted the good results on the created islands protected somewhat from deer browsing pressure.

The attached PDF shows another location view of regeneration. There is a note on the slide of a name – Benenan islands.

Any more details and comments very welcome
