Andrew Allan’s workshop base in Callander
The photos are courtesy of Geordie Davidson via Tom McLellan, Taynuilt and dated as approximately 1983.
The Land Rover has been given a quick lift via the forklift with jib boom modification and Ian Scorgie is giving it a thorough clean.
The workshop yard exhibits all the vehicles and machines and various parts of ploughs that make up an accumulation of years of contracting. Beyond the D6 tractor is a large plough frame possibly for mounting and pulling multiple tine spikes or twin plough heads.
Any information and names of other people who worked there would be very welcome.

Geordie confirmed that the tractor in the yard is a BTD8 International and the Red Frame is for a double ripper ( probably manufactured by Clarks of Parkgate )

My uncle Peter (Peter Allen) had the sawmill as you come into Callander. Good times up there. I knew Scorgie. He was a good welder and a lot of other things!

Eddie Burnett from thornhill bought Andrew's international btd8 crawler for hill drainage a long time ago and recent sold it to a collector from Moffat
