Sandy posing with axe in hand next to a large Douglas fir possibly in the grounds of Benmore House which housed the Forester Training School. Willie Cameron, Rogart, recalls that Sandy Nicolson (or Sandy Nicholson) on hearing that he was being posted to Borgie Forest after completing his training opted to leave the Forestry Commission and headed to the Forest Service in Kenya.

Can anyone fill in more details?
