Nearly £9,000 was raised for Doddie Weir’s MND charity in a special rugby match that saw the ‘old boys’ of Scotland’s Rural College enjoy a convincing win over SRUC’s Edinburgh Agrics student team.

Elmwood Golf Course at Scotland’s Rural College in Cupar recently hosted its second alumni golf day which brought together more than 70 current and former professional golf students.

Around 800 pupils from across 25 schools descended on Oatridge for Farm to Fork – an event that gave them an insight into the range of skills available across the agricultural sector.

Professor Eileen Wall has been named Senior Vice President of the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS).

Former classmates of Doddie Weir are among past and present students scrummaging together to raise money for the rugby legend’s motor neurone disease charity.
