Shothead farm, about 10 miles outside Edinburgh, was purchased by the Institute in 1929 with funds from T.B. Macaulay. Funding for the erection of new buildings was provided by the Development Commission, through Department of Agriculture for Scotland. The primary function of the 250-acre farm was experimental; to apply knowledge gained in the laboratory to problems of animal production, such as milk in cattle, wool in sheep and meat in cattle, sheep and pigs. Shothead farm was sold in 1950.
