Safe driving awards at Balnacoul Workshops

Date Added: 25 November 2013 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1985 Picture No: 2030

Photograph courtesy of Sandy Cameron, Teindland with help from Walter Grant, Lhanbryde.

Sandy is not sure of the exact year but thought it was around 1985 when this photograph of the awards being handed out was taken. The drivers included those who drove lorries and vehicles transporting men to their work sites. The people in this case came from various forests in northeast Scotland and those that can be named (from the left) are:

1. Willie French (Lorry Driver Newton nursery)
2. Bill Gordon (Lorry driver Balnacoul and Speymouth Forest)
3. ?
4. Andy Sim (Lorry and Low Loader Driver Monaughty Forest)
5. Frank Calder (Ganger Speymouth Forest)
6. Sandy Cameron (Forest Worker Teindland)

Can anyone add more names or corrections?
