222 golden retrievers meet up in Scotland

Last month, the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland hosted a gathering of golden retrievers at the breed's ancestral home Guisachan House.

With their owners in tow, 222 golden retrievers returned to the Highlands house where they were first bred by a gentleman named Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, later known as Lord Tweedmouth, in the mid-1800s.

Festival activities included a dog show, tug-of-war and hurling.

If you need a pick-me-up, you can check out more photos of the festival at the GRCS' website.
