I contact you as a volunteer from the Land, Sea and Islands Centre in Arisaig. We have been handed part of a badge similar to the one you show except it has SADDLER in the same font and FORT WILLIAM instead of Bonar Bridge. We think it was made by Donald Boyd, a Victorian Saddler, from Fort William.
