A record Saturday attendance, helped by sunshine defying weather forecasts, created a summer party atmosphere, highlighted by an electric performance from the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Now in its 36th year, the Scottish Game Fair continues to serve as a vital platform for Scotland's rural businesses, championing countryside traditions while providing education on conservation, sustainable habitat management, and biodiversity.

From families discovering rare breeds and hill ponies to live falconry and gundog demonstrations, the central arena buzzed with activity, creating memories for thousands while underlining the importance of the rural economy.
