FAMILY RUN fencing business Duncan Fisher Fencing Contractors specialise in forestry, agricultural, commercial and domestic fencing all over Scotland, working from a Perthshire base – but some jobs are more spectacular than others, as seen here, when a lack of good road access required some 2000metres of old fencewire to be taken off the hill by helicopter.

This particular job was part of approx 12,000m of deer fence replacement for the Forestry Commission North Highland District at Benmore Estate, near Oykel Bridge. Working closely with the FC and PDG Helicopters, the operation was tied in with the flying out of stone to another site in the area.

DFFC was established by Duncan over 25 years ago. Alongside the fencing business which is run by Alistair Fisher, Duncan also has a contract farm at Logiealmond running 2000 ewes and 70 head of cattle with his daughter Stephanie.
