      History

      Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) was formed in 2012 following the merger of SAC (Scottish Agricultural College) with Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges. SRUC comprises three Divisions: SRUC Education, SAC Research and SAC Consulting. SRUC carries out teaching and research in Agriculture and Business Management, Animal and Equine studies, Environment and Countryside, Engineering, Science and Technology, Horticulture and Landscape and Sport and Tourism. In addition to the six campuses, SRUC consists of a number of research centres and consultancy offices across Scotland and the North of England, as well as six farms and eight veterinary disease surveillance centres.
