The Sutherland Show

Held each July, The Sutherland Agricultural Show began in 1951 to showcase the vitality and productivity of this fragile area of Scotland. Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea, from the far north coast to the Dornoch Firth, Sutherland encompasses a wide diversity of landscapes and climatic conditions, and its industries and agriculture reflect this. The Main Show Ring hosts a variety of entertainment including The Ardross Pipe Band, the ever popular Working Sheepdog Display, Vintage Vehicle Parades, Children’s Sports, Terrier Racing and, of course, Judging of the Champions and the Livestock Parade. In addition to events in the show ring, why not visit the funfair and the farming education tent. We’re sure you will enjoy another fun and action-packed day at The Sutherland Show where there will be something for everyone!
