He left school aged 15 and was first employed by Cluny Estates as a Kennel boy and trainee Gamekeeper. He then moved to Findrack Estate near Lumphanan, with another Gamekeeper to become an Under Keeper. Whilst there, in 1953 the Laird actually arranged for Bill to join the Scots Guards, which was to chart out the rest of his life.
