County Show day is here!

Orkney’s biggest agricultural show, the County Show, takes place today with all the cattle, sheep, horses and more, all competing to claim Orkney’s top prizes.

The County Show is Orkney’s sixth and final agricultural show for 2016 and as well as featuring the cream of the county’s livestock will also feature fairground rides, games stalls and craft tents at the Bignold Park, in Kirkwall.
