Supporting Agriculture Education in Scotland
The Mains of Loirston Charitable Trust was set up by the late Alexander Williams Allan in 2007 with the primary purposes of supporting the education of School children or students and promoting research in the practice of agriculture or the science of agriculture in Scotland.
In 2016 the Trust set up an Innovation Fund intended for Farmers. Its objective is to encourage Innovative on-farm practical research which benefits Scottish agriculture.
