GORDON SETTER GATHERING
Did you know that the beloved dog breed, Gordon Setter, is at risk of disappearing? In order to try and save the breed, Gordon Castle launched a campaign in 2019 to draw awareness to this beautifully loyal and attentive dog by attempting to host the largest Gordon Setter gathering at the Gordon Castle Highland Games and Country Fair. If you have a Gordon Setter or know someone who does then please join the event, with your dog, next to the Country Sports Arena.
