Logsnstuff is a third generation business, my grandfather started the business back in 1959, we have been involved in various timber projects particularly hardwood felling & in 1989 bought our first mechanized harvester a Rottne blondin the first Rottne harvester to be brought into the UK from Sweden & the business thrived until a drastic drop in global timber prices brought about a change in direction.

 We now concentrate on the supply of fuel woods to the retail market. the following few pages are to show some of the advancements in technology throughout the decades in the forest industry here in Scotland and because I wanted to include some family pictures taken over the past 50years.
