Rob McGregor (25) and Josh Painter (19) from Scotland

These fiercely competitive lads say losing isn’t an option, as they would never live it down back home!

Sheep farmer Josh works on his family's farm in The Shetland Islands and says his experience of farming is a million miles away from ‘posh English crop farmers down South’ - who he thinks have it easy. He would love to get the win for the Scots.

Rob is from a small village on the Dumfries and Galloway border, and helps run his father’s sheep farm. Rob is coming to the end of his first year studying agriculture at Oakridge Agricultural college where he met fellow ‘loudmouth’ sheep farmer Josh.
