AgriScot 2024

AgriScot is the UK's no 1 farm business event, hosted indoors at the Royal Highland Centre every November. It is widely regarded as one of the premier events in UK agriculture appealing to a cross-section of farming sectors.

A vibrant trade showcase with over 240 trade stands alongside seminars, demonstrations and competitions, the event welcomes around 10,000 farmers and agribusiness professionals seeking the latest advice, technology and practical solutions for their agricultural business. All indoors, the four exhibition halls include the country’s largest winter display of machinery where visitors can see first-hand a wide range of the latest hardware and technology. The main ring hosts dairy judging for high cash prizes, a technical beef demonstration and a silage competition. Awards are also presented for outstanding farming businesses from all sectors across Scotland, a Business Skills competition for young people aged 18-25 and a new product innovation competition.

Live demonstrations include, new for this year, an automated sheep handling demo from TePari and the Sheep Game’s Cammy Wilson. An annual highlight is a head-to-head debate and Q&A session with the NFUS President and the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands, and business seminars run throughout the day offering important technical insights and updates for different sectors, including growing maize in Scotland; livestock health, welfare and disease updates from the Moredun Research Institute; net zero baselining; water scarcity; electrical infrastructure upgrades and protecting your land and business; and the popular panel discussion with the Scottish Dairy Hub and Kite Consulting. The wellbeing initiative, Farmstrong will be hosting a pre-event breakfast for the first time this year for visitors to meet up and network ahead of the doors opening at 9am.
