Charles McIntosh was employed as a Stalker on the Balmoral Estate from August 1878 until his retirement in May 1925. Awarded the R.V.M. in bronze by King Edward VII on 7 October 1903, while employed as a 2nd Stalker, he received the R.V.M. in silver from King George V on 8 October 1920, as a Stalker. Meanwhile, his services in the 5th Volunteer Battalion of the Gordons were recognised by the award of his Volunteer Force Long Service Medal in an Army Order of 1 July 1903. McIntosh, who is believed to be the father of V. A. C. McIntosh (see Lot 98), died in January 1938.
