The Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) has announced that King Charles III has been appointed as new patron.
The King’s patronage is announced as the society celebrates its 240th anniversary year. Planned activities to mark the anniversary include an audio and visual storytelling project, 240 Years of Stories, which is hoped will contribute towards the legacy of Scotland’s agricultural and rural community, a mass Munro challenge and a series of Harvest Thanksgiving services.
Alan Laidlaw, RHASS Chief Executive, said: “We are honoured and humbled that King Charles III is to continue the Royal Family’s long-standing tradition of supporting Scotland’s agricultural and rural communities through the work of the society. In what is our two hundred and fortieth anniversary year, when we are celebrating all that has been achieved over the last two centuries, and looking ahead to supporting the future of industry, it is fitting that we have a new royal patron to support Scotland’s agricultural achievements.”
