From cattle to tractors, live music to tasty food and drink, soak up the atmosphere of this fun-filled 4 day festival of farming life, which offers something for all ages.
Organised by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, the packed programme celebrates all aspects of rural life. Prepared to be captivated by world-class livestock displays, shearing spectacles, equestrian competitions, impressive agricultural machinery, technical innovations and energetic rural demonstrations – all while enjoying live music, plentiful shopping opportunities and sampling the country’s finest food and drink.
There’s also plenty to keep children entertained. Enjoy outdoor play equipment, live shows, face painting, animal meet and greets and mini tractors at the Kids Zone in the Countryside Area. See exciting displays of archery, marvel at the rapid sheep shearing competitions and watch sparks fly in fiery displays of horse-shoe making in the Forge.
New for 2026, The Reelig features some of the biggest names on the Scottish trad music scene, from established favourites to exciting contemporary voices. Please note: a Royal Highland Show ticket does not include entry to The Reeling. Separate tickets are required.
