Here she opened up to Kathryn Dick about her biggest career hurdles and most abiding memories. Background? I was brought up on the family farm in Perthshire and shadowed my dad around the farm to various markets and farm sales. I went to secondary school in Perth, which was handy for getting to the mart. I did my fair share of skiving during February and October, and headed down the street to McDonald and Fraser’s mart for the famous Perth Bull Sales. After school I completed a HND in Agriculture at SAC Edinburgh and my practical year was spent in West Sussex working for the Baird family. On leaving College I came home to work with our Westhall herd of cattle and sheep flocks.
