Thousands of people descended on the Fife Show on Saturday to enjoy a day of countryside fun.

The event, near Cupar, is one of Scotland’s premier agricultural shows and has been running for more than 200 years.

It brings farming and the community together with its mix of showing classes for livestock and funfair rides.

Families also enjoyed pig and ferret racing, while young farmers took part in their annual tug o’ war competition.

And a display of both vintage and modern agricultural vehicles was a draw for many.

Pet shows, swordsmanship, archery and fly fishing were among the other entertainment.

Our photographer Steve Brown was at this year’s Fife Show to capture some of the fun.
