Amy Lochhead, aged 18 from North Berwick, has been doing a Modern Apprenticeship Level 3 in Agriculture at Carcant Farm, through Borders College. She said: “I was brought up in a seaside town far away from the rural life that I craved. Since I was young, I’ve had an affinity for all animals and had a need to care for them.”
Shauna Murdie, aged 20 from Jedburgh, has been doing a Modern Apprenticeship Level 3 in Agriculture at South Riccalton Farm, through Border College. She said: “I took the apprenticeship to develop my knowledge of the business and finance side of agriculture. This will prepare me for a management role, which I hope to achieve in in future.”
