About our sponsorship
Ian Marchant, Chief Executive of Scottish and Southern Energy, the parent company of Scottish Hydro Electric, said: "Scottish Hydro Electric has a long tradition of producing renewable energy from Scotland's rural areas and so it makes sense for us to support The Royal Highland Show, which brings together people from all parts of Scotland and beyond. With the need for green energy greater than ever before, I hope the show will provide a great opportunity for people to find out more about the part they could play in helping Scotland's rural communities be at the forefront of achieving more sustainable energy future."
