AgriScot stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of Scottish agriculture, serving as a premier event that brings together farmers, industry experts, and enthusiasts to celebrate and promote the advancements in the agricultural sector. Over the years, AgriScot has evolved into a vital platform for highlighting innovation, sharing knowledge, and fostering collaboration within the agricultural community.
The origins of AgriScot trace back to the early 1990s when a group of forward-thinking individuals in the Scottish agricultural community recognized the need for a dedicated platform to display the latest developments in farming practices and technologies. The inaugural event took place in 1994 under the name DairyScot, primarily focusing on dairy farming. As the years progressed, the event expanded its scope to encompass a broader spectrum of agricultural practices, and became AgriScot in 2001.
As AgriScot gained traction and popularity, organisers recognised the opportunity to provide a comprehensive platform that covered various aspects of agriculture. The event evolved to include not only dairy farming but also arable farming, livestock, and farm business management. This expansion reflected the dynamic and diverse nature of modern agriculture in the UK.

AgriScot's journey from a modest dairy-focused event to one of the premier agricultural showcases in the UK is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the agricultural community. By fostering innovation, celebrating excellence, and providing a platform for knowledge exchange, AgriScot has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of British agriculture. As the event continues to grow and evolve, it stands as a symbol of the industry's commitment to excellence and sustainability.
According to the latest independent survey, the satisfaction levels among visitors are sky-high. An impressive 98.9% of those interviewed stated that AgriScot not only met but often exceeded their expectations. Now, that is the kind of feedback any event organizer dreams of!

Martin Dare, the mastermind behind the scenes at AgriScot, could not be more thrilled with the overwhelming support the event has garnered. In his own words, it is a "tremendous endorsement of the event." In a recent survey, a whopping 92% of exhibitors expressed their eagerness to return, and many of them have a common request – more space, please!
One of the hallmark features of AgriScot is its emphasis on recognising and rewarding excellence within the agricultural community. The event hosts prestigious awards ceremonies that highlight outstanding achievements in various categories, including dairy and livestock farming, environmental stewardship, and young farmers. These awards not only serve to celebrate success but also inspire others to strive for excellence in their agricultural pursuits.
All four exhibition halls used by AgriScot at Ingliston have been bursting at the seams in recent years, with the waiting list for space growing longer. It is not just about squeezing everyone in; it is about creating an atmosphere where the best in the business wants to be.
AgriScot’s success can be attributed not only to its focus on innovation but also to its role as a networking hub. The event provides a unique opportunity for farmers, industry professionals, and experts to come together, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections. The networking aspect of AgriScot is instrumental in fostering collaboration and driving the collective growth of the agricultural sector.
As AgriScot continues to evolve, it is not just about accommodating the growing crowd; it is about curating an experience that leaves everyone wanting more. Martin Dare and the AgriScot team are listening, and they are ready to give the people what they want – more space, more excitement, and more reasons to mark AgriScot on the calendar as the must-attend event in the agricultural calendar.
