Images are courtesy of Colin Lawson son of Wilfred Lawson who was a forester who trained at Benmore Forester Training School 1948-1950 following a year plus at Glenbranter Forest as a trainee worker based in the camp.

The location is not identified but could be up Glen Masson or up towards Lock Eck – any suggestions and identification of the site would be welcome. Some of the students have been named and could be a mix of first and second year students.

The two named students watching the piper D Robertson are from the left:

D Wilkinson (towel in hand)
Alexander (Sandy) Nicolson (seated) facing the camera.

Can others be named?
