Royal Highland Show Round Up

Shepherd and Wedderburn were delighted to attend The Royal Highland Show this year, Scotland's premier agricultural event showcasing the best of Scottish farming and rural life. Once again, we had a full house on the Friday at our breakfast briefing, co-hosted with Bidwells.

The theme of this year's briefing was 'Agriculture and Forestry: Growing together', discussing the challenges farmers, landowners and land managers face with the growth of the renewable energy sector, carbon sequestration, biodiversity requirements, climate change and food security. The discussion centred around how those different challenges could be reconciled while at the same time the country worked towards implementing Scotland's forestry strategy.
