History
The Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) was a higher education and research institution specialising in agriculture. It was formed in 1990 as a merger between the three regional Scottish Colleges of Agriculture (North, East and West). SAC was the largest institution of its type in the UK, and one of the largest in Europe. It ran for 22 years until SRUC was formed in 2012.
