George Sinclair
Fifth generation farmer at Craigies Farm and 2025 Winner of the SRUC Alumni Entrepreneur Network Award for Diversification.
BA Rural Business Management
Campus: SRUC - Edinburgh
Class of 2019
“When I left school, I was determined that I’d get into farming and help carry on the family business.
I felt that Rural Business Management might be more relevant to where our farm was starting to go. I really enjoyed the course. It’s a good balance between farming and business and how to run both sides efficiently.”
