Participation Request to SRUC – Elmwood College Interim Report
Future of Elmwood College - EECC submit a Participation Request
A Participation Request (PR) was submitted by Elie & Earlsferry Community Council to the Scottish Rural College (SRUC) in March 2024. The Community Council was seeking improved educational outcomes for the students in Fife through improved local access to land-based courses at Elmwood College. At Cupar in Fife in the East of Scotland, the SRUC had announced plans to close down and demolish the main building at Elmwood College. They had closed down the student accommodation the previous year. They also intended to seriously scale back on the courses they offered. Horticulture was to be saved but the College would be losing its nursery where they grow trees. MORE
