David was an Honours Student in 1952/53 under Prof. Mark Anderson at Edinburgh University and part of his remit was to record the effects of the 1953 January storm on the forests around Aberdeenshire. The following photographs (700- 708) shows some of the damage to the forest crops on Fyvie, Blackford House, Forglen and Hatton Castle Estates.

‘North side of Ard na Damph knoll – 100year old Scots pine.
Mainly uprooted in a ‘push effect’ uni-directional force.
(Poor light photograph but magnified is best example of uprooting)’.
