Scotland's annual celebration of the best of farming, food and countryside! For those who think it’s just cows and combine harvesters, then what can we say? Be prepared for an experience like no other.
The Royal Highland Show is run by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland which was founded in 1784.
The first Highland Show was held in 1822 on the site now occupied by the award-winning Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh.
