Scotland’s top land-based and aquaculture trainees, modern apprentices and training providers have been recognised in the annual ALBAS awards for land-based and aquaculture skills.
Over 200 finalists, event supporters, employers, training providers and industry leaders attended the glittering Lantra Scotland’s ALBAS 2025 awards ceremony. Industry awards were presented for agriculture, aquaculture, equine, game and wildlife, horticulture, land-based engineering, trees and timber, and veterinary nursing.
The Anna Murray Partnership Working Award went to Borders College, Borders Machinery Ring and Tarff Valley, who are working together to deliver a course aimed at developing the next generation of agricultural professionals.
Highly Commended for the same award was the South of Scotland Skills Partnership, one of SFC’s Pathfinders programme projects. Working with other stakeholders in the region, Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) and Borders College collaborated to develop a joint prospectus for learning and innovation in the land-based sector. The outcomes of the complete SFC Pathfinders programme will be published on 18 March.
Details of all the ALBAS 2025 winners and runners-up can be found on the Lantra Scotland website.
