Celebrating the best that rural Scotland has to offer at the Royal Highland Show.

The team are at the Royal Highland Show celebrating the best that rural Scotland has to offer, including the Arbroath smokie and an award-winning Scottish gin.

The Countryfile team are at the Royal Highland Show celebrating the best that rural Scotland has to offer.

Matt Baker goes behind the scenes amongst the feathers and fleece, hair and horn. Stockmanship takes centre stage here, and the show is a shop window for the best livestock in the country - a chance for farmers to take pride in what they do and show it off.

Of course rural produce is also on display. And there’s one delicacy so important to the Scottish economy it was recently granted special status to stop imposters from using its name - the Arbroath smokie. Anita Rani meets fifth generation ‘smokie man’ Ian Spinks for a real taste of tradition.

Exports of Scotch whisky hit a record high last year, and Ellie Harrison meets one local lady taking a shot at the drinks market with her own award-winning Scottish gin. 

There are more than 900 prestigious competitions at the show and Sean Fletcher learns at first hand the art of competitive horseshoe-making from one of the best farriers in the business, Sarah Mary Brown.

A show like this inevitably produces tonnes of waste. As recycling the waste produced by everyday life has become increasingly important, it has become increasingly more complicated. Tom Heap asks if it is even worth it.

Away from the show, Adam Henson sees the preparations involved for farmers, as they get ready to show their prized cattle at what is the pinnacle of the rural calendar.
