The Scottish School of Herbal Medicine is a non-profit making organisation, founded in 1992 and dedicated to the furthering of herbal knowledge, education and research.

We offer a range of professional training courses, including Massage and Clinical Aromatherapy, herbal courses from introductory Home Help Herbal Medicine, Evening Classes and Correspondence Courses to BSc(Hons) Degree and MSc. Our BSc (hons) Degree in Herbal Medicine was externally validated by the University of Wales in 1998 and accredited by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) in 2000 and our PgDip/MSc programme was validated by the University of Wales in 2000.

The Scottish School of Herbal Medicine has a unique concept of training "herbal practitioners" with an energetic approach to herbs and our view that herbalism is a holistic discipline. Our Vegan founders are strong advocates for non animal based, holistic and contemplative methods providing more appropriate models for the current paradigm shift in herbal knowledge dissemination. The School provides a balance of science and art in its teaching and we seek to further knowledge of herbal medicine for its personal and planetary benefits, this philosophy pervades all that we do.

As if to reinforce this The National Institute of Medical Herbalists at their annual conference in Exeter on April 2nd 2005 awarded Keith Robertson, our Director of Education, the honour of becoming a "Fellow" of the Institute. Keith is quoted as saying that this honour is not only for him but for the School, the students and the Schools approach to Herbal Medicine".

We only accept a maximum of twenty five students in each year to ensure that each student is treated as an individual with unique requirements. Our professional, dedicated office team is always on hand throughout the year to give advice and assistance.
