      Not that much to say really lol... Started working with machinery on my fathers farm when I was 7ish right up untill I left school ,worked as a gamekeeper on Achentoul estates for 3yrs . Worked in a peat factory for a further 31/2yrs ,this is where I started to operate bigger machinery ,anyone remember the Hymac 580D ,and the Massey 50B , ,got made redundant from there .Seen an advert in one of the papers for a digger op in Aberdeen (baring in mind I lived in a very small village called Kinbrace ,we had 11 lamppost lol ,ten houses ). Anyways the job advertised was with a company called (then ) C.A Duduid & sons ,now called Turriff contractors which have recently been bought over . Anyways was with them for ni on 20yrs and am now precently working for G Bannerman of Tain working on housing sites on hire to G F Job from Nairn .
