Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said:
 
“Scotland has a fantastic array of high quality and delicious local produce, from all corners of the country. Stirling Tastes Good -supported by the Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Programme - is an excellent example of local businesses coming together to work cooperatively and promote their products.   

“I am sure that their stand at the Royal Highland Show will attract a lot of interest and increase exposure for the bountiful food and drink offering from the Stirling area.”

The show kicks off on the 21st June at 9am daily until the 24th June and will take place at Ingliston Show Ground, Edinburgh. For directions and more information please visit www.royalhighlandshow.org
