Freshly dyed heather bundles at our Heathergems Factory, Pitlochry
A selection a heather fresh out the dying chambers, they will be left for a few days to dry then 4 bundles will be picked to be made in to a block.
Weather continues to prove a problem…
The Cluniemore heather area, as you can see the ground is becoming increasingly difficult for the Freelander to navigate due to the ground being waterlogged and very boggy and insufficient ground clearance of the Freelander which seems to be making the track worse, we will therefore leave collecting anymore heather for the time being and hope that the ground will dry out a bit and then try again at a later date…more to follow!
