About the Royal Highland Show
From the official website:
“The Royal Highland Show is the flagship event of Scottish charity the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.
The 4 day event, this year celebrating its 200th anniversary of the first Show held in 1822, is the pinnacle of the agricultural calendar.
Each year over 1,000 trade exhibitors, over 2,000 livestock competitors entering into 900+ competitions (with over 6,500 animals) and tens of thousands of visitors come to the Royal Highland Show to experience the best of farming, food and rural life.
The Show offers a great day out for all the family, with something for everyone to enjoy. Showcasing the finest displays of Scotland’s livestock, machinery and technical innovation, produce, equine displays, countryside pursuits and educational workshops.
There is a fantastic programme of music and entertainment to enjoy along with a plethora of Scottish produce to sample in Scotland’s Larder Live!”
