The Novar Estate extends to 20000 acres. At the time of the present plan its proprietor was Viscount Novar, a Liberal politician who had been the sixth Governor-General of Australia. For centuries Novar was considered a 'barren and treeless place', and forestry played a significant part in its exploitation. A later laird of Novar, A. B. L. Munro-Ferguson, himself took a degree in forestry, and employed the celebrated Archie Munro as head forester (see his obituary in the Sunday Herald, 22 November 1997). In brown cloth 'Anti-Aqua' binder. Inscription on internal card cover by the author 'John M. Ross, | Drummondreach. | Conon-Bridge. | Ross-shire.' Comprising typed 'Working-Plan' ([2] + 29pp., foolscap 8vo), followed by manuscript tables of crop yields at various locations ([3] + 15pp., foolscap 8vo), and seven (out of nine) small photographs of Novar, with captions, mounted on three pages. The present item was clearly prepared as part of Ross's degree-work, as he is described in the 1933 University of Aberdeen Calendar as a 'student in forestry', and the typescript carries a few pencil annotations by a tutor. Confirming the academic origin of the item is the following introductory note to it: 'During the Easter Vacation of 1932 in collaboration with Mr. G. I. Mackenzie, I collected data for a plan of some 1000 acres of the Novar Estate in Ross-shire and completed the plan during May June.' (Mackenzie was a subsequently a senior figure in the Forestry Commission in Scotland, retiring in 1969.) The typewritten 'Working-Plan' is divided into five parts: 'General Description' (in 10 subsections: Situation; Area Statement; Boundaries; Tenure; Physiography; Geology and Soils; Meteorological Data; Summary Description; Probable Production; Risks), 'Arguments, Prescriptions and Procedure' (Object of Management; Allocation of Area; Prescriptions for Next Decade; Future Position; Forest Protection), 'Exploitation Programme (Detailed for the next five years)' (table of 'Fellings' and 'Thinnings (1st 5 years of decade'); Out-turn; Transport; Disposal; Sawmills) and 'Regeneration Programme' (tables of Afforestation and Replanting for next 5 years' and 'Underplanting (1934-1937)'; Supply of Plants); 'Organisation and Finance' (Establishment; Finance; Control and Revision of the Plan). Of particular interest is the 'Summary Description', pp.5-9, describing the situation at various 'Non-Timbered Areas' ('Unafforestable Areas' and 'Afforestable Areas') and 'Timbered Areas' (Meann Cnoc; Bog a Phiobaire; Badger Hill; Templepark; Fyrish; Tendallon; Black Park). The fifteen pages of manuscript tables describe 'Locality Factors' (Elevation; Soil; Vegetation) and 'Present Crop (Species Age and Height; Growing Condition; Treatment) at nine locations: Meann Cnoc; Bog a Phiobaire; Badger Hill; Templepark; Broomhill; Bullocheshan; Fyrish Hill; Tendallon; Black Park. The table for Black Park covers six pages. Each of the nine tables is preceded by a short description, that of the first, Meann Cnoc, reading: 'This squatdomed hill rises from 500 to 1000 feet, slopes steeply to the south and north and gently to the east and west. Exposed to N. W. and N. E. winds. Soil good deep loam in lower southern part, deteriorating with altitude. Northern slopes are bare owing to unfavourable exposure.' The final two leaves in the volume are of black paper, and on these are mounted seven small black and white photographs of the nine locations in the tables. The photographs for the other two locations are lacking. Each is captioned in white ink (for example, 'Broom Hill. From bare area on North of Meann Cnoc'). Loosely inserted is a neat manuscript manuscript map, 50 x 39 cm, in colours, with key, of 'Woods of the Novar Estate Fyrish Section', 'Scale - 6 inches = 1 mile'. The colour key features 'Age Classes', Area to be Afforested' and 'Area to be Replanted', with 'Unafforestable Area Uncoloured'. Other features are 'Section Boundaries', '1st Class Roads' and '2nd Class Roads'.…
