A Berwickshire Bull is rarely pregnant to slightly misquote Professor Mahaffy, Provost of Trinity College Dublin who being asked to define an Irish Bull said that it "was always pregnant"
Berwickshire Show Urged on by A Peasant-see post immediately below-Huttonian returned to the show ground with a working camera and all included in the wickedly low 'Concession' (ugh)of £1. By the time of my second visit the tweedy set and the horses with them had mostly departed leaving a choice of viewing in the arena of classic cars, cows (embracing bulls as it were) and tractors. Amongst the stalls you could find the Tories (click on image and Mr Lamont will jump up at you, centre, tall, cord trousers and conservative wellies-carefully not Green)) Lib Dems, and the 'Real' Tartan Army recruiting people bouncing little boys up an inflatable assault course-even an opportunity to shoot arrows, sadly not at the Bouncy Castles.
As I left the action was moving into the beer tents
