The Scottish Game Fair 2010 took place at Scone Palace from 2nd to 4th July 2010.

Visitors were treated to a huge variety of displays and demonstrations inviting them to learn more about their countryside.

The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute was in attendance again this year, with our exhibition focussing on our tick, deer and hare research and visitors to our stand were invited to play our game, 'Stick the Tick' to discover the dangers of Lyme disease and the areas of the countryside where ticks are most prevalent.
