Through the Galbraith graduate programme we offer opportunities across our offices to the best and brightest new graduates. A progressive and broad-based firm, we offer comprehensive on-the-job training and full support in attaining RICS qualifications. We are delighted to have the following graduates on board as our 2017 intake. Philippa Orr Philippa joined the Galbraith Cupar office in September, where she has been assisting Mike Reid, Alan Hendry and Rachel Myles in the rural and energy team while undertaking her Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). Philippa comes from a livestock and arable farm in Fife, and before starting with Galbraith has helped her family with day-to-day farming duties. Away from farming, Philippa completed an undergraduate degree in geography and latterly a Masters in Land Economy at the University of Aberdeen. She is currently assisting with land referencing, compensation claims, preentry records of condition and general liaison for a number of utility schemes.
Claire Wilson
A warm welcome to the latest Galbraith graduates
Following a move to the new premises last year, the expanding Castle Douglas office welcomed Claire who joined the rural and energy teams in September. Having grown up on a dairy and arable farm north of Glasgow, Claire has practical farming experience, which, coupled with her Masters in Land Economy from the University of Aberdeen, has set her in good stead for undertaking her APC. Away from work, Claire has been heavily involved in her local Young Farmers Club and in her spare time, she enjoys horse riding and hill walking. Claire has been assisting David Corrie, Poppy Baggot and Alice Wilson with a range of estate management, utilities, sales and valuation work.
Sam Dillon Sam joined the Aberdeen office in August having undertaken work experience through the Galbraith work experience scheme in 2015 and 2016. A country sports enthusiast, Sam was
involved with the Royal Agricultural College Beagles throughout university and he also enjoys fly fishing and shooting. With his varied role within the Galbraith Aberdeen office and his previous experience on both arable and livestock farms, Sam is working towards completing his APC. Sam is helping Tom Stewart and Deirdre Stewart with a range of rural professional work including land management, farm sales and valuations.

She is working towards her APC and CAAV qualifications and is getting practical experience in land management, valuation and professional work assisting Dougal Lindsay, Claire Acheson and Philippa Cliff. Alex’s family has a long history of horsemanship, and so she has a keen interest in horse riding.
We are delighted to welcome Philippa, Claire, Alex and Sam to Galbraith at this exciting stage in their careers and look forward to helping them through the APC process over the coming years.
