Sunday 24th June 2007: Royal Highland Show


The dreadful weather continued but nothing could dampen my spirits for the RHS and seeing lots of farm animals. This was another trip down memory lane as the last time I was here was in primary school!
There were (literally) hundreds of goats, sheep, cows and horses. And I found the answer to something that had puzzled me since I’d cycled up Mullach a Bhlair (one of the few Munro’s one can [easily] cycle up in the Cairngorms. Enroute to Rothiemurchus I came across a breed of sheep I’d never seen before - pictured above and I couldn’t find out their name. At the RHS there were several of them – Zwartbles. Mystery solved.
