Thousands of people have turned out for the return of Turrif Show.

The two-day event, which has not been held since 2019 due to Covid, kicked off on Sunday and drew large crowds to The Haughs.

While horses and ponies competed in the main arena, families could pay a visit to plenty of other animals, including goats and sheep, all around the site.

The EQ Food and Drink Pavilion was filled with local brands and cooking demonstrations, which stood alongside more than 200 trade stands and an art and craft area.

People of all ages also enjoyed the live music and dance performances – with many expected to return tomorrow.

Our photographer Scott Baxter was there to capture the moments.

Check out all the best pictures from the day:
