Running on the second Saturday of July since 1853, the Echt Show showcases the best quality livestock the north-east has to offer.
The show also features vintage tractors, highland games and trade stands.
To celebrate the return of the show after Covid, we have scouted our archives for photos of the Echt show through the decades.
