You are right - snow barriers but most of the parts are missing now
These wooden structures are along side the railway line up the Strath Halladale.
My guess would be to help stop the snow drifting on to the railway line, but Mr's M disagrees.
Has anyone the correct reason for them?
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

Have a picture somewhere of the snow at Forsinard will look it out and let you see just how deep it was in the 40's/50's
thats answersd a question i have wondered about for ages. thank you
sometimes the devil needs an advocate
This thread brings to mind something very similiar on the A9/99 stretch...
when, heading South on the right-hand side, there are "staggered" wooden fence post in every field around the area just South of Mid Clyth?
This does not apply to just a "single" area; but many fields have the same "staggered" posts..... Just wondering why?
Dilapidated snow barriers, another consequence of Climate Change.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
