The photographs are courtesy of Will Anderson, Seafield and Strathspey Estates. Will worked for a period with the Forestry Commission in Tulliallan Nursery and surrounding forests.

A presentation in 1987 or 1988 is underway of a gift to David Duffin being handed over by William Berry. David Duffin was a long term employee at Tulliallan Nursery and started working there in the 1930s and continued until retirement except for a war service break. Will comments “He was latterly ganger. A very good worker and a great sense of humour. I worked with him in the nursery but he also worked with my father contracting at the weekends and I worked with him there as well.”

David is holding a long term employment certificate indicating over 30 years’ service in the Forestry Commission. Can anyone confirm his actual years of service?
