The historic Newhailes estate in Scotland will be transformed into Doghailes later this month as the property hosts a festival for dog owners and their pets.
The National Trust for Scotland’s estate, on the edge of Musselburgh in East Lothian, will welcome visitors on Sunday July 31 for the latest staging of the popular festival.
A number of prize categories will be awarded on the day, including scruffiest pooch, the most precious pup, best owner / dog lookalike, best fancy dress, waggiest tail and the most ‘golden oldie’.
A range of activities especially for dogs will aim keep them entertained, and food and drink will be available at the day-long festival.
Claire Grant, National Trust for Scotland operations manager for Edinburgh, said: “We are thrilled to once again welcome dogs and their owners to Newhailes for our annual Doghailes festival.
Newhailes’ 34 acres of parkland and woodland is home to a wide range of Scottish wildlife and with unspoilt views across the River Forth, the Estate is very popular with dog walkers.
“Doghailes provides us with a great opportunity to bring the community together and celebrate a fun day in our beautiful grounds.”
Tickets cost £2 per entry.
