Provenance

We used to think folk who collected plastic bags were odd- but now we have one!
This bag was actually posted by ‘someone’ and we’re guessing it’s because The Hill Shop in Cairngorm is a little bit of Scottish ski history.
A shop of some kind existed in the Cairngorm ski area pretty much from the outset in the 1960’s though we’re not sure when it became designated The Hill Shop.
We do know that the telephone codes changed to include a ‘1’ in the area code in 1995 so our bag is earlier than that - a quirky addition to the collection.
