	Woodmen at the Inverfarigaig saw mill in c1916. British Aluminium utilised the former Bobbin Mill after refurbishment until it was destroyed by fire in 1926.

	Group at Easter Boleskine Farm (1). Built in 1870, the buildings have been a farm, a mill and a dairy during their working life. They were sold to the Forestry Commission in the 1950s and appear to have become empty some time after that. After being sold by the Forestry in the 1970s, the cottage was turned into a residential dwelling. Photograph courtesy of Moira McCallum.
	Group at Easter Boleskine Farm (2). This, and the previous picture, appear to have been taken around the 1940s. Photograph courtesy of Moira McCallum.
	Shearing at Dalcrombie in 1899. The Johnston family still farm Achnabat and Dalcronbie. The incongruous figure on the left is G.F. Watts, famous English portrait artist of the 19th century, who married Mary Fraser-Tytler of Aldourie. Photograph courtesy of Iain Cameron.

	A September evening. Fishing boats passing through Loch Ness in the 1890’s. The Caledonian canal gave access to the west coast to this type of boat, for which the journey around the north coast would have been far too long and dangerous. Photograph courtesy of Iain Cameron.
