Highlights Of The Royal Highland Show...
Scotland’s Larder Live!
Located on “13th Avenue”, this is a must-see for all foodies and a great place to sample some of the best food and drink produced in Scotland. See artisan producers go head-to-head to showcase the best cheese, butter, ice cream and bread in the country.
The Countryside Area
Set by its very own loch and surrounded by stunning landscaping, this area hosts demonstrations and events showcasing a wide range of country sports, activities and rural skills—from the Honey, Goats and Poultry Marquees to a great range of outdoor pursuits on display.
Sheep Shearing
Be amazed by the speed, accuracy and flair of Scotland’s sheep shearers. Next year sees the Golden Shears International Shearing and Woolhandling Championships at Ingliston – one of the toughest competitions.
The Forge
It’s literally the hottest place at the show! Experience the intense heat and noise of metal being shaped by metal, as competitors from across the country compete in the Scottish Open Farriery Championship horse-shoeing and shoe-making competitions.
Forestry Arena
Witness astounding skill and strength as record-breaking pole climbers brave the dizzying heights in the Forestry Arena. You can also enjoy amazing bike displays, axe-throwing demonstrations, artistic creativity with hand-tools, and learn a lot about forestry – geographically one of Scotland’s biggest rural industries.
The Grand Parade
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, head for the Grandstand to see prize-winning cattle gracefully wend their way across the Main Ring. If you don’t know your Belted Galloways from your Belgian Blues, this is an ideal opportunity to see so many different breeds.
