Gargunnock Show took place on Saturday, with exhibitors from around Scotland taking part in a host of events throughout the day.

Crowds enjoyed a range of events including a pets parade, vintage tractors and music from Doune Pipe Band.

There were races for all ages, and the Gargunnock Hill race proved as tricky as ever with some slippery conditions underfoot.

This year’s show saw increased numbers in the dairy cattle, Clydesdale Horse and Highland Pony events. The show was first held in 1794, following the founding of Gargunnock Farmers’Club by John Fletcher Campbell.
