I have been sent a photo by Jenny Moore from 1999, long before Ballachurry was a nature reserve. Jennie has kindly agreed to share the photo with us. Her horse, Roxy, was kept in the field in those days. I have tried to replicate the shot for comparison. The old Tramman tree is in both photos, I see, although most other things have changed.
many thanks to Jenny for this photo from 1999
only the wall and the Tramman ( Elder tree) look familiar
please click on photos to enlarge them
