Extended Information
Now part of SCRI, the Scottish Plant Breeding Station (SPBS) was founded at Craigs House (Edinburgh) in 1921 and was latterly based at Pentlandfield on part of the University of Edinburgh's Bush Estate. It was responsible for new varieties of barley, brassicas, oats and potatoes.
In 1989, SCRI established Mylnefield Research Services Ltd to commercially market their products and consultancy services. The Institute maintains a close relationship with the University of Dundee who base a number of their research staff on the SCRI campus.
