After 1945 he was chairman of a number of publicorganizations, including the Scottish Tourist Board, the Scottish National Forestry Commission and the North of Scotland Hydro-Electricity Board(1946-59), and oversaw the monumental hydro-electric schemes which revolutionised Scottish power supply.This is the story of a remarkable and much-loved politician and a deeply principled and respected man.
