Numerous agricultural shows and events have already been called off for 2021
Prominent agricultural shows have been cancelled for a second year in a row due to the ongoing coronavirus restrictions.
One of these is the Fife Show, which has been forced to delay its 200th anniversary celebrations which was due to take place this year.
The event, which usually attracts thousands of guests, is one of the first that takes place in the Scottish summer agricultural show calendar.
But current Scottish government guidance dictates that agricultural shows can only take place in Tiers 0 and 1, and with a maximum of 200 spectators.
