He travelled extensively on business and made several expeditions to the Pacific coast of North America, on one occasion staying there for 4 years, acquiring a deep knowledge of forest trees. He introduced the cultivation of several pines including Picea brewiana and developed the Arboretum at the family estate at Dawyck near Peebles, which he had inherited from his father in 1886. In 1916 Balfour was sent to France to liaise with the French Army over supplies of timber, being appointed Lieut. Colonel for the purpose. His interest in forestry continued after the war and he travelled extensively to supplement the Dawyck collection. With many business interests and directorships, Balfour was a member of the King’s Bodyguard for Scotland, Royal Company of Archers and a local Justice of the Peace and Vice Lieutenant of the county in Peeblesshire (see Desmond 1945). His son, Alastair Norman Balfour (1909-96) was a member of Royal Company of Archers from 1930 onwards. During the Old and Middle Kingdom, the most commonly encountered bow was of simple stave-like form, sometimes with a single or double curve. This was replaced by the composite bow from the Eighteenth Dynasty onwards, probably introduced by the Hyksos, along with the use of the horse and chariot and copper alloy for use in armour. See McLeod 1960 and Grayson 2004.
