Duncan MacLennan (Senior) operated the bus service from Shieldaig to Strathcarron and held the Royal Mail contract to carry mails on the route for many years. When he retired in 1963 his son Duncan (Junior) continued the role. In 1966 Ford Transit mini-bus EJS 506D was acquired and it is seen here on the platform of Strathcarron railway station as Duncan (junior) loaded goods and mail for the return journey to Shieldaig.</div> David Slater (Spoddendale) https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/36384338 tag:ipernity.com,2014-03-31,doc-36384338 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 23:59:00 +0000 2014-04-01T00:59:00+00:00 nobody@ipernity.com (David Slater (Spoddendale)) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/36384338"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/43/38/36384338.6b3fca5f.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="155" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">A tax disc for the 14 seat Austin bus (DST 358) which Duncan MacLennan (Senior) operated on his service from Shieldaig to Strathcarron - a service on which Mr. MacLennan held the contract to carry the Royal Mail.
