Hi Norman Roddy Macdonald was in charge at Benmore forestry school in 1953 although not in good health assisted by a Mr Alec. Mclaren and Walter Scott who were both in the forester grades and dealt with the practical work. Walter
Scott left the F.C. to take up an appointment with Buccleuch Estates ( Drumlanrig?)
