Harvest

From potatoes, fruits, seeds and silage, Harvest is a significant time of year in the farming calendar with crops being collected across Scotland from July – October.

The Stewart trailer you see here today outside St Giles’ Cathedral can hold up to 20,000kg, that equals almost 400,000 loaves of bread!!

Thanks to Thomas Sherriff of Haddington for providing the John Deere tractor and Stewart trailer for the 2024 Harvest Thanksgiving display.

Harvest Service

This year we were invited back by St Giles’ Cathedral to assist them with their Harvest Thanksgiving Service on Sunday 6th October.
Harvest allows us to recognise and raise awareness of the importance of Scottish agriculture and pay tribute to the farmers and food producers for their exceptional efforts and who work around the clock to make it all possible.
