Scottish Agricultural College, Auchincruive

Lodged by Adam Ingram SNP Lodged 23 Jan 2002 Debate 21 Mar 2002 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the important contribution that the Scottish Agricultural College, Auchincruive, formerly the West of Scotland Agricultural College, has made and continues to make to the rural economy of Scotland; deplores the plans by the Scottish Agricultural College to downgrade Auchincruive to a mere delivery vehicle for education courses in association with Paisley University; views with concern the prospective closure of Auchincruive as a research and teaching facility if and when it amalgamates with the University’s Ayr campus, and considers that such a closure would be detrimental to the economic development of Ayrshire and the south of Scotland.
