The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland

Who we are

We are RHASS (Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland). Since 1784, RHASS has remained steadfast in our mission to advance Scottish Agriculture and support Scotland’s rural and agricultural communities.

Today, RHASS serves as a vital platform for the rural industry and communities that live and work in Scotland’s countryside. A cornerstone of this work is the Royal Highland Show, hosted annually at the Royal Highland Centre, and it is the primary fundraising event for the charity.

In addition, the Royal Highland Centre plays a crucial role in supporting the work that RHASS does, while standing as one of the most sought-after venues within Scotland’s vibrant event sector.

Our culture and values

At RHASS we embody four key values that inspire and guide us in everything that we do.

We Celebrate – Embrace every achievement and cherish our heritage; our success is a shared journey that deserves recognition and joy.

We are Courageous – Dare to lead, innovate, and break new ground.

We Empower – Seek out ways to support and uplift each other.

We are Resourceful – We sustain our charity through creative thinking and integrity.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to treating everyone fairly, valuing differences, and creating an inclusive environment where all individuals feel respected and supported. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, and we strive to ensure equal opportunities for all employees and stakeholders.
