NN 85447 65499 A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were conducted, 3 August 2020, on an area of mature woodland to the W of Blair Atholl, which contained the site of a Second World War logging camp used by the Canadian Forestry Corps (Canmore ID: 167749). Several standing structures were recorded, in various states of preservation, comprising work stations, accommodation and camp facilities. Where necessary, archaeological features were marked off to reduce the risk of damage during imminent felling operations. The wood also contained metalled tracks created during the use of the camp.
