Crowds kept cool with the coos at Friday’s Royal Highland Show
Basking in udderly roasting sunshine, crowds turned out in force as the Royal Highland Show yesterday at Ingliston.
HRH Princess Anne visited the Show on Friday and was escorted by RHASS Chairman, James Logan, and Chief Executive, Alex Paterson. HRH enjoyed a tour of the Show ground, including a visit to the RHET Discovery Centre, where she met local primary school children taking part in activities.
She also enjoyed watching the showjumping competition and toured the Cattle Hall.
Fittingly, the Queens Cup was awarded today at the Royal Highland Show. A prestigious trophy which is awarded annually to the champion of the livestock entry, this year it was presented to Messrs Webster + Smith with dairy goat, Guilden Elma.
David Tennant, Head of Show, said, “Friday at the Show has been a true sun-soaked spectacle and we are thrilled to see our visitors and families enjoy all that the show has to offer.
“From sheep shearing to competitions, sheepdog skills to cookery demonstrations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
“We were very honoured to have welcomed HRH Princess Anne today and shared with her all of the great achievements from the Scottish agricultural industry.”
