Clearing snow near the Loch Ericht Hotel, Dalwhinnie, 1947, (HCA/CI/10/10/2)
The winter of 1946/47, nearly 70 years ago, was known as one of the Big Freezes and was harsh for the entire UK. High snowfall was recorded all over the country, with falls of 7 metres in parts of the Highlands, not to mention incredibly low temperatures. Here we see the clearing operation taking place in Dalwhinnie near the Loch Ericht Hotel.
