Rural affairs secretary to visit County Show

The Scottish Government rural affairs secretary Richard Lochhead will attend the County Show this Saturday, August 13, during a family holiday to Orkney.

Speaking ahead of his visit, Mr Lochhead said: “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to enjoy the annual Orkney County Show during my family holiday, because it showcases the very best of the islands’ food and agricultural fare.

“It is an important date in the islands’ calendar – an event everyone can enjoy – and a great platform to celebrate the rich offerings from the Orkney Islands that are enjoyed  across the UK and beyond.”
