    SRUC Oatridge Farm and Campus Location and access Oatridge is part of the specialist landbased college Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) offering a wide range of courses including agriculture, animal care, engineering, environment and conservation, equine studies, horticulture, and landscaping. At its centre is Oatridge Farm, which includes commercially run beef, sheep, pig and arable enterprises. The farm is used for practical tuition, and as a resource for the provision of real time physical, financial and technical data. Oatridge Farm extends to 289 hectares. Originally comprising three steadings, Oatridge, East Broadlaw and Hanging Side, all activities are now centred on Oatridge. Landscape The majority of the farm lies at a height of between 135 and 180 metres above sea level, whilst Binny Craig, an igneous outcrop almost central to the farm, rises to 219 metres. The soils within the college boundaries are complex and varied, deriving from a series of exposed soft Carboniferous mudstones and sandstones, giving rise to sandy clay loams, which have impermeable subsoils requiring artificial drainage. N Rainfall averages 940 mm (37 ins) per annum and the growing o temperature of 6 C is not generally reached until late April. Public access to Binny Craig is by a footpath from the minor As described elsewhere in the leaflet, the landforms seen road near East Broadwood [NT 043 731]. within the LGS and the surrounding area have been shaped With prior permission, access may also be gained via SRUC largely by glaciation, with crag-and-tail forms dominating the Oatridge Campus (Ecclesmachan, EH52 6HN; tel 01506 landscape, with an obvious west to east grain to the land.
