    Excitement is building for the 2025 Royal Highland Show (RHS). Scotland’s premier agricultural event is now just over five weeks away. And to highlight the drive to get show-goers to use public transport to get to and from the event, two lambs, a Highland coo and her calf, and a miniature Shetland Pony took a trip on an Edinburgh tram. RHS will take place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, over four days next month. It starts on Thursday June 19, running through to the Sunday.

    There’s a niche area of farming – away from the mainstream business of producing beef, lamb, pork, chicken and eggs – quietly doing its bid to preserve Britain’s rare native livestock and
equine breeds. There are sheep and cows among these, but also pigs, horses, ponies, goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. In fact, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST) has more than 100 varieties on the “priority” section of its 2025-26 watch list alone.

    Entrepreneurial Aberdeenshire beef farmer Jilly Grant has won a prestigious national award for innovation. It recognises her trailblazing achievements as co-founder of agritech firm Herd Advance. She was presented with her National Women in Agriculture (NWA) gong at a ceremony at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Now in their second year, the awards aim to strengthen the network of women in UK agriculture. They also throw a well-deserved spotlight on some of their achievements.

    The Whiteford family of Hilltarvit Mains, Fife, opened their farm to 270 Bell Baxter High School pupils to give them an insight into beef production. The educational farm tour, held over two days, was arranged by Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) Fife Countryside Initiative. It focused on cattle-raising from birth to market.

It's not antisemitic to call this genocide. Because that's exactly what it is. Backed by the world's biggest superpower too.

Is @SkyNews or anyone else going to call out the US vice-president for making up complete falsehoods, such as the nonsense about the Scottish Government, in his speech earlier today? This dangerous new US administration and its ultra right-wing agenda must be confronted.
