The fishing drifter Lavatera was used as an armed naval auxiliary during the First World War. She was built in 1913 by W & G Stephen of Banff for John Wood Snr. and requisitioned by the Admiralty for wartime service in the Royal Navy in March 1915, and returned to the owners in 1920. During the Second World War it was again requisitioned in April 1940 until July 1946 and first used as a Barrage Balloon Vessel (BBV) and later as a Harbour Service Vessel. She was scrapped in 1948. In the photo the crew are in civilian clothing, and the bow-mounted cannon (a three pounder gun) is clearly visible. She is flying the White Ensign. Submitted by Robert Paterson.*

Osgood Hanbury Mackenzie (1842-1922) was a Scottish landowner and the creator of a famous garden at Inverewe, near Poolewe in Wester Ross. In 1862, with the help of his mother he purchased the 12,000-acre estate of Inverewe and Kernsary. There he built a Scottish Baronial style mansion and set about creating a garden. Mackenzie concentrated first on establishing shelter belts of Native and Scandinavian pines and built a walled garden. He also created woodland walks. Within 40 years, he had established one of the finest collections in Scotland of temperate plants from both Northern and Southern hemispheres.
