Welcome

This year’s show lived up to its promise to be bigger and better than before: as a new feature we presented a celebration of local food – Blas na Fhasaich (Flavour of the Wilderness) – to highlight the abundance of seafood, dairy products, game, meat, whisky, baked goods, confectionery and other specialist foods available in Sutherland.

The Livestock events were a sure crowd puller, from the massive Highland Cattle to the smallest Shetland Pony. The Floral Art and Flower tents were full of beautiful blooms and produce, while the Handicrafts Tent displayed the creativity of the Highlands, with new classes and lots of new ideas.

James Hercher returned to the Sutherland County Show after an absence of approx 15 years. He brought the Waltzer, the Miami Ride, dodgems, bouncy castle, kiddies rides and the candy floss and sweetie stall. There was also a range of trade stands offering everything from an exotic plant to a walking stick or a new saddle!
