Listen on

Episode notes

The second half of our kitchen table chat about RHASS and how the charity strives for new ways to preserve, educate and support Scottish agriculture.

Anna speaks with RHASS director Louise Elder, and Ally Caulfield and Annie Wheeler from the staff team.

We also hear about RHASS's investment in innovation, education, wellbeing and the environment.

Throughout 2024, OnFARM has partnered with RHASS to celebrate the charity's 240th year.

240 Years of Stories aims to highlight and explore people's tales from living and working in agricultural communities. We are working with RHASS through our OnRECORD Memories initiative which focuses on recording stories and memories from rural Scotland.

All past episodes recorded at the Highland Show, or with the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, are in this playlist.

Get in touch if you’d like us to record with one of your family members, a long-serving staff member, or anyone else with a great story to tell or a voice to treasure.

Those wishing to share other rural stories with RHASS are encouraged to get in touch at [email protected]

Those looking to record stories and memories from family members privately, outside of this project, can find out more at www.onrecordmemories.co.uk

These editions of OnFARM was edited and mixed by Antonia Gospel, a 2024 Fellow of the MultiTrack audio fellowship.
