A Dumfries-born veterinary nurse who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer halfway through her studies has received a top honour from Scotland’s Rural College.
Thirty-six-year-old Ashley Little was awarded the inaugural Fairweather Prize for Further Education which recognises resilience, determination and achievements in overcoming adversity.
The accolade was established in memory of Jamie Fairweather, who died last year six months after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer.
