Peter Burman -Faskally Forester Training School Student – Did you know him?
The photograph is courtesy of Duncan Burman who is searching for early life details of his late father.
Duncan says ‘My dad, Peter Burman, was at Faskally 1959 to 1961. He finally finished up as Superintendent's Deputy and conservation Officer at Epping Forest before his untimely death from cancer in 1996 at the age of 58. I am now trying to piece together his early life and while I know he was at Faskally and did a stint at Parkend Forestry School, Forest of Dean in the summer of 1961, I know little else. Apparently he also did garden maintenance for the Chemists house in Pitlochry to supplement his income while he was there!’
The photograph shows Peter on the right working in a forest nursery. Is this Ledmore Forest Nursery and do you know the other student? (Possibly John Livingston). Were you at Faskally in any of the years 1959-1961 and do you have any student group photographs including Peter taken at this time?
Any details would be very welcome.
