Balcathie hyowers
Our thoughts have turned (optimistically) to springtime and this photograph takes us back around 75 years to a field at Balcathie Farm where farm workers are seen thinning sugar beet - the traditional way. The picture, from 1959, was taken by John Henderson, the farmer's son, who was a biology teacher at Arbroath High School and was well known for his interest in singing and rugby. The toiling locals were, from left, Charles Jorgensen, George Finlay, Ian Cummings, Jimmy Robbie, Tom Wilson, Edwin Johnston, Bob Boehm - a former German prisoner of war who elected to stay in Angus after the Second World War - Alistair Reid and James Milne.
