"Aberdeenshire farming life during the transition from the Clydesdale horse to the tractor"

For those who prefer to relax with a book. We provide you with a PDF copy which you can read at your leisure as a digital download. The book relates to an entire calendar years of what life and work was for my ancestors who worked Drumnaheath farm where I grew up. Although the content reflects how farming was done in Aberdeenshire that methodology and the technology utilised is a shared agricultural heritage with many other parts of the world.

The book written by me Don Carney has many photos which help in the interpretation of what is being presented in the text. The book covers the period of time from the 1930-1960 in Aberdeenshire. It clearly shows how farming life and work took place during this significant transition period from horse power to tractor power.
