Scotland’s national sheep event, Scotsheep 2020, is to be sponsored by Clydesdale Bank.

The biennial event, organised by National Sheep Association Scotland, will be take place on Wednesday June 3, at Over Finlarg, Tealing, Dundee, by permission of Robert and Hazel McNee.

“Clydesdale Bank is delighted to be sponsoring the NSA Scotsheep event at Over Finlarg, which is a great venue and provides a real focus for the sheep sector at this important time of change post-Brexit,” said UK head of agriculture for Clydesdale Bank, Brian Richardson. “Our team looks forward to meeting producers at the event and we are pleased to be main sponsors.”

Previous NSA Scotsheep events held across Scotland have attracted thousands of livestock producers from all over the UK. This year, visitors will have the chance to see first-hand how the McNees have developed both the farm and their business since moving to the 740-acre unit nine years ago.

“Over Finlarg is an ideal unit for hosting such a prestigious event,” said event chairman Willy Millar, who runs a beef and sheep enterprise at Huntingfaulds, Tealing. “Robert and Hazel McNee are well-known for breeding top-quality livestock and there will be something of interest for everyone on the day. Field space for trade stands is currently filling up fast so we would encourage those interested to come forward.”
