Royal Highland Show 2024

It was a lovely morning that welcomed visitors to this year’s Royal Highland Show. The weather did change slightly and thankfully it was not as hot as 2023, so much easier on both cattle and members. Highland Cattle are always a real spectacle for those who came to watch the day’s proceedings, and this year was no different with lots of people around the ring. Fifty-five quality cattle were forward for Stuart to cast his eye over and choose his prizewinners.
