Tickets are available for the RBST Scotland Conference 2025, taking place on Thursday 31st July at Guardswell Farm, Inchture, Kinnaird (13 miles west of Dundee, Scotland).

This full-day event will bring together people from across the food, farming, and conservation sectors to explore the vital role native breeds play in shaping Scotland’s agricultural future. It will be a fantastic opportunity for networking, knowledge-sharing, and promoting the value of UK native breeds.

As the Scottish Coordinator for RBST, I’m especially keen to connect and collaborate with Scottish members of breed societies. I’d love to explore ways we can work more closely together—whether through shared events, outreach opportunities, or simply keeping lines of communication open throughout the year.
