A familiar face to the Royal Highland ringside, Andrew Morton fondly known as ‘Shaky’, of the renowned Morton’s flock, brought both experience and insight to his judging of the Beltex section at this year’s show. A past RHS winner himself he praised the overall standard, particularly the strength of females across the classes.

Taking the top accolade was the outstanding aged ewe, Lurg Hiccup ET (LUR H076). Already twice named Scottish National Champion, Hiccup is sired by Vickys Gladiator and out of the Highland Showcase champion, Lurg Fern, blending consistent performance with top pedigree.

Miller also stood Reserve Overall Champion and Reserve Female Champion with the stylish gimmer shearling ewe, Lurg Killing It ET (LUR K092), whose presence and balance impressed throughout.

Reserve Male Champion went to a smart ram lamb, WOO L04410, from S. Wood, who impressed with his sharp outlook and breed character.

In the aged ram class it was Lurg Juno ET (LUR J070) from J&J Cousar & J Hamilton, that impressed with his exceptional length, muscle definition, and mature presence. Bred by Alan Miller, Lurg Juno ET continues to pass on top traits and remains a proven sire in the show ring.
