FOUR Borders College students are heading to Perthshire at the end of the month for a two-week work placement at the internationally renowned Gleneagles Hotel.
Billy Brogan and Hannah Finnie, who are both Level 3 Diploma in Food and Beverage Service Supervision students, will be joined by Ann Letham and Angus Levell, who are studying NVQ 3 in Professional Cookery.
The students successfully completed interviews for their placements, where they were quizzed on their course at Borders College and their hopes and aspirations for the future.
Billy and Hannah will be working front of house in all the food and beverage areas of the hotel and taking part in the preparation and service of functions within the hotel.
Ann and Angus will be working with Executive Sous Chef Gavin Roche, preparing food for some of the hundreds of guests staying and eating at the hotel.
The placement represents an opportunity for the students to consolidate their learning in a professional environment and they will live-in at the hotel for the duration of their stay.
They will be following in the footsteps of Catering and Hospitality Lecturer Robbie Bunton, who enjoyed a week-long placement with Michelin-star chef Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles Hotel back in 2017.
