This photograph was taken at Colonsay Fire Station in 1999, but what was the occasion? If you know, email us at editor@obantimes.co.uk or call us on 01631 568000. We had a call from a reader about last week’s photograph. The picture showed Alan Stewart with his wife and son, John, who are formerly of Ardrishaig, who owned the huskies, with builder Donald A MacDonald from Lochgilphead. Alan himself also got in touch to say Donald had sponsored Argyll’s first and only sled dog race. The Stewart family went on to start the first sled dog centre in the UK, outside Aviemore. John went on to be a top racer in USA /Canada.
