Tour Scotland video of a Scottish Sheep Dog Trial on visit to Ashintully Estate, Strathardle, near Kirkmichael, Perthshire, Scotland. This event was held midway between the towns of Blairgowrie and Pitlochry. The first Scottish sheepdog trial was held at the Carnworth Agricultural Society Show in Lanarkshire around 1874. A Sheepdog trial is a competitive dog sport in which herding dog breeds move sheep around a field, fences, gates, or enclosures as directed by their handlers. Such events are particularly associated with hill farming areas, where sheep range widely on largely unfenced land.
