Old photograph of the Champion Horse named Rob Roy at the Highland Show in Dundee, Scotland. Royal Highland Show first started in 1822, and was located at Edinburgh’s Canongate on a site now occupied by the Scottish Parliament. From this point until 1959 the show moved around the towns and cities of Scotland, in one of the RHASS’s eight electoral areas; Perth, Stirling, Strathclyde, Aberdeen, Lothian, Borders, Dumfries & Galloway and Scottish Highlands. In 1960 the Ingliston site became the permanent home of the show, opening on 21 June 1960. The move to a permanent location has helped the show develop beyond its original remit, to become a celebration of Scottish food, countryside and its farming.
