Title
Milton, the horse belonging to Michael and Sheila Forbes, Menie, Aberdeenshire, November 2011
Description
Michael Forbes and his family have lived at the Menie estate for generations. His uncle, father, grandfather and great grand father were all fishermen. The Trump development cut off the Forbes' routes to the coast.

“My uncle who was a salmon fisher bought this place in 1956, I left school and came to work for him ,eventually my father and I ought a salmon station and we worked that together. My family have been fishers here for generations. Now that the access is blocked, well I cant fight him. He’ll win, he’s too many lawyers.”
- Michael Forbes, Menie Resident, Menie Estate, Aberdeenshire, November 2011
