Musselburgh’s Palladian mansion became Doghailes for a day of canine fun
The scruffiest dogs, most precious pups and waggiest tails were all on display on Saturday as the grand estate of Newhailes became Doghailes for the day.
The Palladian mansion in Musselburgh, which is cared for and run by Scotland’s conservation charity the National Trust for Scotland, welcomed dogs of all shapes and sizes for a day of events and activities celebrating man’s best friend.
Taking centre stage was a dog show with a difference, with prizes including Best Lookalike and Best Rescue.
Claire Grant, the National Trust for Scotland’s Edinburgh Operations Manager, said: “It was great to welcome so many visitors and their four-legged friends to Newhailes at the weekend.
“Newhailes is a very dog-friendly property with lovely walks in our surrounding estate which we know our visitors love. After such a challenging past year and a half, it was great to see so many happy – and furry – faces, enjoying the day at our beautiful property!”
Among the winners was ‘hippy dog’ Rubin, a 13-month-old Poodle. Far out, man!
