Mr Ender Rudolf from Germany or Austria toured around some Forestry Commission sites in Scotland in 1954 and on his return appears to have compiled a photographic album of his visit. He must have copied some of the pages of photographs and returned at least 15 pages to Scotland. The first 4 pages show 12 images from either Fetteresso or Drumtochty.

Unnamed man standing in a ploughed area, the trenches of which appear to have a rounded bottom and in spite of the presence of stones may have been ploughed by a Cuthbertson single furrow peat plough. Note the landrover up on the road in the distance.

Can the man be named?
