Royal Highland Show

Over 150,000 visitors are expected to attend the four-day annual trade show and fair for farmers and the public. Huge numbers of different classes of pigs, cows, horses, and other livestock are on parade as well as farm machinery and locally grown produce. For urbanites, the culinary demos in the Food Hall are one of the big draws.

The displays of rural skills and sports, such as fly fishing, the ever-popular dog displays, falconry, and terrier racing are added attractions. The trade shows include home-grown fashion items made of cashmere, tweed and tartan and rugged outdoor wear.

The RHASS - The Society was established in 1784 to promote the trade, agriculture, poetry, language and music of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Today, it is principally known for the Royal Highland Show but its activities cover much more. In addition to making awards and grants, the Society has a strong educational role in promoting all aspects of rural life in Scotland including agriculture, horticulture and forestry. The Royal Highland Education Trust fulfils this role through links with Scottish primary schools.
