Royal Highland Show 2024

The Royal Highland Show is an annual event, showcasing the best of food, farming and rural life at Ingliston in Edinburgh. 

2024 is a year of celebration for RHASS, marking our 240th anniversary, and reinforcing us at the heart of the rural community. Find out more below on how and where you can get involved in all of our 240th-anniversary activities.

We will bring to life the profound influence RHASS has had on countless lives and society in Scotland over the centuries, highlighting pivotal moments and personal narratives from members, grant recipients, industry bodies, and individuals. In collaboration with The Scotsman Group and OnRecord Podcast, we will embark on a twelve-month journey to gather stories across the length and breadth of the country. We encourage anyone to share their memories with us and be part of creating a living legacy of our past 240 years. These stories will act as a form of remembrance, connection, and celebration, honoring the enduring impact of RHASS on generations past, present, and future.

The 4 day event, first held in 1822, is the pinnacle of the agricultural calendar.

Each year over 800 trade exhibitors, over 2,000 livestock competitors entering into 900+ competitions (with over 4000 animals) and tens of thousands of visitors come to the Royal Highland Show to experience the best of farming, food and rural life.

The Show offers a great day out for all the family, with something for everyone to enjoy. Showcasing the finest displays of Scotland’s livestock, machinery and technical innovation, produce, equine displays, countryside pursuits and educational workshops.

There is a fantastic programme of music and entertainment to enjoy along with a plethora of Scottish produce to sample in Scotland's Larder!
