Taking place at Drumlanrig Castle and Country Estate, Dumfries and Galloway, on August 12 and 13, it once again hosted Defender Jam, a giant jamboree of all things Land Rover.
Drumlanrig estate director, Anna Fergusson, said: “It was a really fun weekend, with huge amounts to do and see. And some of the main arena events – like the motorbike stunts and horseback acrobatics – were truly breath-taking.
“It was great seeing so many families – often with their dogs – enjoying a great day out at Drumlanrig Castle and Country Estate.
“The fair is always a chance to relax and enjoy all the best about country life, as well as tucking into superb food and looking round all the arts and crafts.”
