A double furrow Cuthbertson plough is working is very rank heather conditions in an old felled woodland in Keillour Forest, East Scotland possibly around 1954 but could be a year or two earlier. The wheeled packer rollers fixed to the back of the plough certainly seem to consolidate the furrow hard down on top of the heather. An indication of the rank conditions can be observed by seeing the man on the left struggling through the growth.
It is interesting to note the knee length puttees with some surface writing on the material on the right hand figure.
Can anyone identify the tractor type or any of the people?
