Z Coy HSF
I confess I had never heard about the HSF before encountering this mysterious sign. More information and an anecdote: Image Z Coy was the Perth stationed company, I have no insights as to why this sign was erected specifically here.

Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Andropov?
Little is remembered about Michael Hesseltine's version of the Home Guard. During the Cold War the Home Service Force was raised (1982-92) to provide a group ex military who could be used to guard key infrastructure installations from East European special forces. This was erected by or on behalf of Z (HSF) Coy 1st (V) Bn, 51st Highland Volunteers, Black Watch (The Royal Highland Regt).
My only contact with this organisation was in taking part in a real life Dad's Army episode in 1991. I was taking part in a pub quiz for a climbing club after a day climbing on Mayar, and two of the opposition teams were representing the HSF. We won, and their "commanding officer" was distinctly upset and gave a performance Arthur Lowe would have been proud of. We assume that was because three of the team were English, at least half CND supporters, one had been on University Challenge, and some lack of deference to a local celebrity landowner (clue: liked gin and lived to 101). One of the best pub nights ever. The trophy still resides in the club hut in Deiniolen.
The vanquished may well have been from this unit.

Lost village
These stones, overgrown by the forest moss and grass, are all that now remains of a small village near Tomgarrow. Until about 100 years ago it housed the men who worked the nearby slate quarries but was abandoned when the quarries were worked out.

Trees on a bank
Looking up the bank adjacent to the farm track leading to Tomgarrow and Balhomish. The bright blue sky was a very welcome sight after a succession of squally snow showers.
