The organisation hold an annual two-day ploughing competition offering classes in horse, vintage, classic and modern ploughing with champions in each section given the opportunity to represent Scotland at national and international competitions. An annual training day is held in the area that the competition takes place in with world class ploughers offering advice and instruction on ploughing and judging. The training days for judging are held to learn the skills for younger members to go to matches throughout Scotland and judge at our affiliated clubs matches. The Young Ploughers Development Programme selects ploughers annually from all over Scotland to be mentored by an experienced plougher and take part in the Scottish Ploughing Championships. We engage with the local RHET group in the match area to encourage children to come and see ploughing and learn agricultural process in line with their “farm to fork” initiative.

Objectives: (a) The advancement of knowledge of farming heritage by promoting and encouraging the skills of ploughing the land by traditional and modern ploughs in Scotland.
