At The Royal Highland Show on Saturday
More than 150 animals took part in the parade across the event's Main Ring. The Grand Parade takes place once again on the Sunday of the Show at 2.30pm. Awards were handed out to 15 winners who are leading the way in agricultural innovation. Winners included Graintek UK for their baby portable grain dryer, the smallest mobile dryer in the world and New Holland for their T6 methane power tractor, which offers a more sustainable way of working. David Tennant, Head of Show, said: 'There has been an incredible atmosphere on site today and the Saturday of the Show is always a really special one with The Grand Parade taking place – it's such a spectacle for visitors to experience. It's also been a delight to see lots more families at the Show today enjoying Tractor Ted, Mini Rovers and our Countryside Arena. 'The Sunday of the Show will see our Members Village being opened to the public to showcase a whole host of entertainment, from Edinburgh Military Tattoo artists, magician, Elliott Bibby and live music – it looks set to be a superb Sunday!'

Royal visitor attends the Highland Show
HRH The Princess Royal visited the Royal Highland Show on Friday and was accompanied by RHASS Chairman, James Logan, and Chief Executive, Alex Paterson on a tour of the Show ground. This included a visit to the RHET Discovery Centre, where she met local primary school children taking part in the educational activities. She also enjoyed watching the showjumping competition and toured the Cattle Hall. Fittingly, the Queen's Cup was awarded on Friday at the Royal Highland Show – a prestigious trophy 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 The Princess Royal today and shared with her all of the great achievements from the Scottish agricultural industry.'
