Royal Highland Show 2018
NSA Scotland marquee a major feature all about sheep at the Royal Highland Show The NSA Scotland marquee located on avenue O, behind the main grandstand is one of the largest promotional marquees if not the largest at the Royal Highland Show. It is regarded by the Highland show Directors as a main attraction for the 180,000 plus visitors attending the show over four days. This year the NSA Scotland committee and office bearers will be putting on a great display of all things related to sheep. The marque included sheep breed stands, British Wool Marketing Board, the RHS fleece competition, International Sheep Dog Society, Moon’s high quality woollen fabrics, tag manufactures, the Tweed Forum with their working

model showing the importance of an active integrated farming system for the reduction in water pollution. Live displays included stick making, spinning, lamb butchery, cooking and tasting, and a lamb dressing competition for the younger generation run in partnership with the RHS. A new business area was created two years ago which proved very successful allowing members and guests to sit and have a coffee and catch up with the NSA office bearers on duty, which again will continue this year. NSA Scotland feels that the RHS has to be one of the best opportunities for us as a sheep industry to connect with the general public.
