Mark L Anderson Glenurquhart Forest 1929

Date Added: 14 December 2015 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1929 Picture No: 3145

Original photographs are courtesy of Inverness, Ross and Skye Forest District and staff at their Fort Augustus office.

The images have been taken from parts of original fixed point photographs of an underplanting experiment in Glenurqhuart Forest initiated in 1927 possibly by Frank Oliver who was District Officer for the area from 1927-1936. The experiment photographs, featured in Picture Numbers 3134 – 3141, included people in each of the different years.

The images are very grainy as they have been enlarged many times from three small separate photographs which included this person. The actual names were added as rough notes to the photographs at some point after the album was completed and there may be some doubt as to their accuracy. The 1929 photographs above were annotated as ‘Mark L Anderson’ and is almost certainly the Forestry Commission Research Officer for Scotland normally based at Edinburgh.

Can anyone confirm how long he was Research Officer for Scotland if indeed that was his title?
