While there is no doubt this year s Royal Highland Showcase cannot be a patch on the previous world-class livestock events we have all come to love and live for at Ingliston – due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions – it is however, one that has to be hugely admired and relished when the vast majority of such events have either been cancelled or postponed. Having the inspiration and enthusiasm to keep this year s show alive from the onset, when many were dropping off like flies, has not only been a massive undertaking by all the organisers and those behind the scenes, but also the breeders and exhibitors who have enabled The Royal Highland Showcase to finally come to fruition.
Virtual Royal Highland Show receives 1,100 livestock entries

Over 1,100 entries have been confirmed for Royal Highland Showcase, which takes place from 14 to 20 June
An impressive 1,100 livestock entries have been confirmed for the upcoming Royal Highland Showcase, despite the event going ahead without a live audience.
The showing and judging of the livestock will be livestreamed during the behind closed doors showcase, which takes place from 14 to 20 June.
Earlier this year, Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) directors confirmed they had shelved plans for a physical Royal Highland Show, instead opting to stream the event online.
The planning team scoped out an outline concept - a hybrid show with judging, show jumping and competitions taking place at the showground behind closed doors.
