Culfoldie Sawmill, 1927
Culfoldie Sawmill owned by Riddochs of Rothiemay, 1927. Frank Christie is front left.

Does anyone have any idea where Culfoldie is ?

There's a Culfoldie 3 kilometers south of Fochabers, it's on an unclassified road from Fochabers to Boat o Brig. OS map sheet 28 grid ref NJ 336559 there are ruined farm buildings there, I passed it whilst walking the Speyside Way.

Ian - Thanks for the location guidance. I have had a quick look at 1905 map of the area and it certainly seems to have had plenty of forestry trees around there then.
