Biography
Charles had the opportunity to begin a career in aeronautical engineering, but the pull of working in his family's business, Alexander Sandison & Sons Ltd was too great and so he returned to Unst and became head of that firm.
But for men like Charles Sandison the economy, and indeed the very life of Shetland might well have collapsed * Shetland Times obituary, 1967
