NT2840 : Talking sign, Falla Brae
taken 11 years ago, near to Glentress, Scottish Borders, Scotland
Talking sign, Falla Brae
We wondered why this wooden seat had a solar panel on top, then pushed one of the buttons on the sign below - this activates a short recording describing life and work for the 'Lumberjills' of the Women's Timber Corps formed in 1942. They took over forestry duties from the men who had gone off to the war, ensuring a supply of timber from UK forests as imports by ship were much restricted in wartime. An imaginative idea by FC Scotland!
