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.

Where on earth have all these animals been hiding? That was my first thought after Aberdeenshire pig farmers Ben Lowe and Gregor Bruce told me they kept about 900 sows between them. I’ve lived in Ellon for more than 20 years and their farms are within a few miles of my doorstep. But I don’t recall ever seeing such large numbers of swine in the fields nearby.

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.
