John Morton was a participant in a North American/UK Countryside Exchange visit from 13 -20 April 2002 in Braemar, Scotland. The visit looked at developing ideas for sustainable tourism in Braemar. There were eight participants in the Exchange Programme, all professionals working either in countryside or involved in tourism - four from the United States and four from the United Kingdom. John Morton was chosen to participate in the Programme because of his knowledge of the development of cross-country trails and downhill skiing. At the end of the visit the Team produced a report and gave a Presentation to the local community. John was an active and valued member of the Team and produced the parts of the Report relating to downhill and cross-country skiing and possible local development. The Report was well received by the local community and the community is currently developing ideas from the original plan and taking these forward with great enthusiasm. There is no doubt that we were very fortunate in having such a professional and well qualified team to assist in developing ideas for sustainable tourism in Braemar and John Morton was a significant player in all aspects of the Report, particularly in relation to skiing; Alister J Clunas, Property Manager
