Lochearnhead Shears-Scotlands premier sheep shearing   Venue: Lochearnhead Games Field Price: This annual event is one of the larger sheep shearing competitions in the UK. Now in its 18th year,  sheep shearers from as far as Australia, New Zealand and Norway will arrive in Lochearnhead with the aim of taking the revered “Scottish Blackface Shearing Champion” title. Blackface sheep are predominant in this region.  The flighty nature and coarse wool of this mountain breed can be very challenging requiring extra skills.  A lively dance ends the weekend.
