Royal Highland Show, 25-28 June 2009 PDF Print E-mail

Royal Highland show logoThe Royal Highland Show attracts over 150,000 visitors each year and is Scotland's largest outdoor event. It's also one of the UK's most iconic agricultural shows. 

This year, WeatherEvents.net attended the show for the duration.  We webcast our flagship WeatherCam imagery, overlaid with weather data, live from our mobile weather lab in the show grounds.

Initially the mobile weather lab was deployed in the Lifestyle village (for the 25th and 26th of June), but for the last 2 days of the show, we moved into the heart of the showgrounds, opposite the Children's Discovery Centre.  The mobile weather lab webcast live WeatherCam images onto the internet, from gate-opening time, to gate-closing time each day.

Following are samples from our live webcast, including a time-lapse video compiled from the WeatherCam imagery.
