Benmore Forestry School Students in Nursery 1950

Date Added: 21 May 2010 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1950 Picture No: 591

Photograph courtesy of Jean Maclean, Laide.

This photograph has a hand written note on the back by Kenny Maclean indicating that this group shot was taken during a weeding session in the School Nursery. Not sure whether Benmore School had its own nursery or a part of the local forest nursery at Uig which was close by. Kenny wrote in the surnames only of the people but Willie Cameron, Rogart, kindly provided the first names and some more details.

The people featured are a mix of 1948 -1950 and 1949- 1951 Forestry Students who are from the left: Tommy Hindle, George Barker, Sandy Nicholson, Kenny Maclean, Willie Cameron, Ron Hutcheson, John Doran and John Macleod.

There is no single photograph so far of the complete year group 1948-50 whose names are Roy Carlaw, Alastair Crawford, George Baker, George Francey, Charlie Hart, Tommy Hindle, Wilfred Lawson, Hugh Mackay, Kenny Maclean, Maclean Macleod, Sandy Nicol, Sandy Nicholson. However they all appear at some points in the 4 images 588-591.
