Royal Highland Show

The Guild has long held an annual Press Party at the Royal Highland Show.

Held at the end of the first day of this flagship agricultural event, the party is for journalists who are Guild Members working at the show.

It provides a happy and relaxed ending to a busy first day at the show – and an opportunity to sample some of the best Scottish food and drink while catching up with friends old and new.

The four-day event is the pinnacle of the agricultural calendar involving over 1,000 trade exhibitors, 2,150 livestock competitors (with over 6,500 animals) and has an annual economic impact estimated at over £46m.

The Guild is grateful to the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland which hosts the event and provides the facilities for the Guild party, including assistance from the official show caterers.

Recent sponsors include Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), McDonalds (wine and beer), Scottish Salmon (smoked salmon), Mackies (ice cream and crisps), M&S (strawberries and cream), First Milk (cheese) and NFU Mutual (soft drinks).
