Old truck, Teanacoil Sawmill
Old truck, Teanacoil Sawmill
The remains of some sort of pickup truck. Now rather rusty, plenty of holes in the bodywork. I'm not sure how old it is, or when it was last used. Possibly an American truck, brought in by the Canadian Forestry Corps.
Teanacoil Sawmill

Officially known as "Lovat No. 1, Teanacoil", this was a logging camp for the Canadian Forestry Corps in World War II. The Canadian Forestry Corps had camps across the Highlands of Scotland during the war, with several others in the Kiltarlity and Beauly area.
Following the end of the war, Teanacoil was passed to the Polish Resettlement Corps, and was locally known as the "Poles' Camp".
