Was Fred McCreadie not in Farigaig as Forester at that time? Comment left on 14 March 2013 at 00:52 by Bill Rayner
No 10 - Hugh Morris was Head Forester in Affric at this time. Comment left on 14 March 2013 at 11:13 by Frank Thom
I don't think Fred McCreadie was in Farigaig till later, Allan Cherry, then Mike Mathers, then Fred. No.9 is certainly John Pargeter. Comment left on 27 August 2013 at 22:40 by Colin Murdoch
