Turriff Show has been held in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, since 1864, when it began as a one-day gathering timed for the Tuesday mart. It calls itself Scotland's biggest two-day agricultural show and draws around 24,000 people. More than 1,500 classes run from cattle, sheep and horses through working dogs and pigeons to vintage vehicles, and each day brings a grand parade round the main ring. Browse more than 300 exhibitor stands, among them producers of local food and drink and craft makers, let the children loose in the toy-tractor sandpit, and bring the dog for the Companion Dog Show, with entries on the day.
