With celebrity culinary stars and Perthshire chefs combining in the past, this year was no exception.

Amongst other demonstrations which took place were wood turning and wool spinning.
In the main arena, dog show was followed by children’s races as Perth and District Pipe Band performed throughout the day.
Plenty of vintage farming vehicles were on display as the annual showjumping exhibition took place, with riders as young as nine years old wowing the crowds.
Ten teams of young farmers from far and near contested the tug o’ war and the Grand Parade showcased the champions and prize winning livestock from across the weekend in the main ring, peppered with colourful rosettes.
A Battle of the Buskers was also held, organised by staff from The Green Room which carried on into the evening.
Show secretary Neil Forbes has heralded the event, which once again proved a huge success.
He said: “This year’s show continued to feature many of the traditional aspects of agricultural shows loved and valued by generations of farmers, as well as a growing array of new and exciting visitor attractions.
“No matter where you were in the showground or what day it was, there was something to get involved with, compete in or marvel over.
“It was two days of constant and widespread entertainment and engagement that appealed to both farmers and townsfolk.
