From high jinks on the water, to high risks on the mountains, Peter has seen most of it  Born in The Lodge, Castle Lachlan, Strathlachlan just after the Second World War, Peter left school at fifteen―mostly because he was fed up standing in the corner getting the belt―and started his working life close to home at Castle Lachlan. Later, he was employed in road construction, work which took him to London in the late 1960s. On his return to Scotland, he joined the forestry (initially as a ploughman), travelling all over Argyll in the course of his work. For many years, he managed the Glencoe Ski Centre, and also served as a member of Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team. He diversified his many talents into building his own property, as well as running his own restaurant and guesthouse. In this memoir, he recalls the working practices, the characters and the adventures of these times, from the 1950s to present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Weir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1999366832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999366834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mor Media Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Peter Weir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431424151807,"sku":"9781999366834","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b925ec6-906f-4437-bb5b-0976445afed2.jpg?v=1735141282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-a-forestry-peter-weir-9781999366834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
