The Royal Highland Show is Scotland's biggest annual Agricultural show. The show is organised by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.

Held annually in June at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, the event attracts over 1,000 exhibitors, 4,500 head of livestock, and up to 190,000 visitors.[1] It is the premier fixture in Scotland's farming calendar and generates over £200 million in business.[2] Exhibitors compete for the prestige of winning not only a prize ticket, but also for prize money and trophies worth over £1 million.
