Perth’s annual agricultural extravaganza enjoyed a successful second day as a healthy crowd descended on the Fair City.
The show managed to avoid much of the weekend’s bad weather, although the Grand Parade of livestock prize winners was hit by a sudden Saturday afternoon downpour.
After the Grand Parade, crowds enjoyed a display of vintage vehicles followed by the daring stunts of the Devil’s Horsemen, who gave an exciting display of horsemanship.
The show has now been going for more than 150 years and this year returned to the Lesser South Inch, the original showground.
Perthshire Agricultural Society secretary Neil Forbes said: “It went very well. Around 2.30/3pm we got fairly heavy showers which meant we unfortunately had to cut the parade back quite a bit.
“But it cleared up later and we had a full afternoon of events and people were still here.
“The feedback we got was that people enjoyed being back on the Lesser Inch. There was a much better atmosphere and it was very friendly.
“The new layout worked very well but there are tweaks we have to do which we will take forward into next year.”
The two-day show remains a hugely important event for the agricultural community and is also enjoyed by the people of the city. Regarded as one of the top shows in Scotland, the Perth event remains unique as the only agricultural show to be staged within the boundary of a city only a few minutes’ walk from the city centre.
It provides an opportunity for farmers from a wide area to meet and catch up with old friends.
