Summer Show Review

The annual agricultural shows across East Lothian, the Borders, and Northumberland offer a great chance to catch up with our clients and associates. We were pleased to support both the Haddington Show and the Border Union Agricultural Show again this summer.

Haddington Show – Saturday 28 June

We were proud to once again, be the joint main sponsors of the Haddington Show alongside Turcan Connell. Continuing our longstanding relationship with the Show.

This year’s Show took place on Saturday, 28 June at the East Fortune Race Circuit. The day started with a slight drizzle but quickly brightened up into a lovely sunny show day.

We had a great turnout at our stand throughout the day, and as always, our lunchtime hog roast was well received. It was great to catch up with clients and friends over some refreshments.

Border Union Agricultural Show – Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July

The Border Union Show returned to Kelso’s Springwood Park on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July, marking one of the most anticipated weekends in the agricultural calendar for the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. This classic farming show brought together the best of rural tradition with horse competitions, livestock parades, and industrial arts displays.

With around 200 trade stands, a bustling food fair, a vibrant crafts tent, and a children’s fun fair, the show offered something for everyone. Despite a breezy start on Friday, the wind soon gave way to sunshine, setting the perfect tone for two days of celebration. We were delighted to welcome clients, family, and friends to share in our hospitality and enjoy refreshments with us. With warm conversations to shared laughter, it was wonderful to reconnect and celebrate the enduring strength of our relationships—both personal and professional.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Thank you

A huge amount of effort goes into preparing for the summer shows in the months leading up to the events – from behind the scenes planning and logistics to the busy show days themselves. It really is a team effort, with everyone pulling together to make it happen. Thank you to all our staff for their hard work in making both shows a huge success.

Global Market Commentary – 4 September 2025

August followed a familiar path with stocks rising for the fourth month in a row.
