Forestry Memories

Faskally Forester Training School 1955 - 57 Class

Photograph is part of Bill Stoddart’s collection of images taken when he was a lecturer at several Forester Training Schools. The photographs were handed in by his daughter Lilian Allan at the Forestry Memories drop in day at Huntly on 11 June 2010. There is limited information with the images and any help to identify people in them, the year and sometimes location would be very welcome indeed.
