Welcome to the Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET)!

We are a registered charity working with dedicated volunteers and teachers to provide every child in Scotland the opportunity to learn about food, farming and the working countryside.

Through our farm visits and learning resources, we connect over 70,000 children and young people each year with farmers creating a wider understanding of the environmental, economic, and social realities of rural Scotland.

Where would you like to go?

We provide teachers with resources, training, and educational school visits to farms to enable real-life learning – all FREE of charge.
