Forestry Memories
        
 
WELCOME TO THE FORESTRY MEMORIES IMAGE LIBRARY

This is now a subsection of the new website Forestry Memories. The new website is a manifestation of the partnership between the UHI Centre for History, and the Forestry Commission Scotland,a research project into the social history of forestry in Scotland in the twentieth century. Read about that here. You can return to the main site at any time, by clicking on the web address forestry-memories.org.uk or above, at the left of the screen.

The Forestry Memories Image Library contains pictures of interest to those who may work or have worked in the Forestry Industries in Scotland.
Images can be viewed by year, by album, by manufacturer or by contributor, or you can use the simple search at the top of this page. Just put in something like "chainsaw" or the name of a place "Fort Augustus" to get some results. There are 516 pictures on the site just now.

When viewing the pictures you can leave your own comments using the form at the foot of each page. In this way we hope to build up an extensive collection of information, reminiscences and anecdotes. There are only 236 on the site, so we need to hear about you!

You are also able to make your own album of the images here and make this publicly available if you wish.

If you would like to contribute a picture, a memory or want to discuss any aspect of this site contact Gordon Urquhart, the site manager at gordon@forestry-memories.org.uk
