East Mainland show day is here

The East Mainland Agricultural Show kicks off this morning, in Toab village.

With the best of the area’s horses, cattle, sheep, goats, dogs and pets on display, the first lot of judging is to commence at 9am.

This year, the show returns to its original showpark beside the old school in the heart of the village, after an altered version of the show — which featured only horses, pets and dogs — took place at the Orkney Riding Centre, in St Ola, last year, due to the showground being water-logged.

The area’s industrial show will also be held in the Industrial show will also be held in the Tankerness Hall.
