Edinburgh, with the help of Dennis the Menace, turned the Royal Highland Show Black and Red at the weekend as the club participated in one of the biggest events in the local area.

The event was staged in Ingliston and Edinburgh sent along club captain Simon Cross, new signing Jim Hamilton, Andrew Easson and Ben Meyer on Sunday while on Saturday, John Houston, Ross Rennie, Ben Gissing and Gavin Kerr attended the show.

Simon Cross said: “It is always a genuine pleasure to go out and meet supporters and this was a great event. The weather wasn’t so special on Saturday, but it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and the feedback we received about the team was very positive.”
