Beatties Seat

The seat put in was from a tree that had fallen part way over the new route it was cut in two lengthways.

Below are the original ideas for the seat

Possible design for Beatties Seat

This page was just for a design concept, what was actually used was a log cut in half long ways and both parts used for the seat. The base was made from the same trunk placed on tghe ground with the half logs on top.

Seat partly resting on rocks, but the main attachment is on a log as in the photo below.

Close up of the log a bit blurry but clear enough to see method

Other end of the seat is attached to a large log and this wouldn't be very likely at Beatties. I suspect the log was actually brought on site.

Seat secured by a large bolt/nail

This seat of plastic material was secured to this sqaure plastic post stump also at Knocklofty.

If this method was used for securing the seat it could be hidden by large rocks.
