Celebrate Scotland’s farming, food, and rural traditions at the Royal Highland Show, just outside of Edinburgh this summer. Held at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, this legendary local event brings together the very best of Scotland’s agricultural and countryside heritage, showcasing everything from livestock and local produce, to great food and live music.
A historic institution in its own right, the Royal Highland Show has attracted crowds from across Scotland for more than a hundred years. Today the show boasts more than 200,000 visitors and 4,500 livestock.
Explore an exceptional calendar of events offering something for everyone. Experience a diverse range of live demonstrations, competitions, and displays of Scotland’s finest livestock, produce, and food. A wonderful window into farming life, introduce your little ones to a range of animals including sheep, cows, pigs and more.
Beyond the agriculture, take in a fantastic lineup of entertainment, from top-class music performances and folk musicians to exciting activities for all ages from children’s play areas to live cooking demonstrations. Horse enthusiasts may cheer on from the sidelines as local Equestrians compete in showjumping or dressage, and catch an up-close look at some of Scotland’s finest thoroughbreds.
Visit the food and drink halls to sample local delicacies or enjoy some classic British gastropub fare, discover the best of Scottish crafts, fashion and jewellery and show your support for Edinburgh’s small businesses with a selection of local vendors across the festival.
Whether you’re a farming enthusiast, foodie, or simply looking for a family-friendly day out in and around Edinburgh, the Royal Highland Show provides an unforgettable experience celebrating Scotland’s rich rural traditions.
