- Clinterty Agricultural College
-
Clinterty Agricultural College was a small further education college near Aberdeen in Scotland, which now forms part of Aberdeen College.
It was opened in 1974 and provided training in agricultural skills, animal and crop husbandry and agricultural engineering. The college was built as a new college on a green-field site near the village of Blackburn, and opened its doors to students in 1974. The first principal of the college was John Telfer. John had originally travelled around Aberdeenshire running agriculture classes from the back of his Morris 1000 Traveller and he was probably the most influential individual involved in the development of Clinterty.
The college had three distinct farm units: Meikle Clinterty, which was mainly used as a pig unit, a new dairy unit was built at Clinterty in an area known as the Haughs, and Mains of Tertowie farm housed the beef and sheep units.
