Thousands of people are visiting Scone Palace for the Scottish Game Fair this weekend.

The fair, which is organised by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), has celebrated farming and conservation of the countryside for 33 years.

This year’s event takes place from Friday until Sunday, featuring displays from farmers,  workshops and cooking displays from celebrity chef, Nick Nairn.

Our photographer, Steve MacDougall, was there to capture the best moments.

Clwyd Axemen – sharp short burst of energy is required to complete the log chop in the faster time.
The spring board tree climb event is the most physical, technical and challenging of all the wood chopping events. This makes it one of the most popular demonstration with the audiences.
