2027 Galloway World Congress

2027 World Galloway Congress Invitation and Itinerary Launched

The Galloway Cattle Society is delighted to announce that the official invitation and itinerary for the 2027 World Galloway Congress have now been released, marking an exciting milestone as preparations continue for what will be two very special celebrations.

The 2027 World Galloway Congress will be hosted jointly by the Galloway Cattle Society and the Belted Galloway Cattle Society, bringing together breeders, members and friends of Galloway Family breeds from across the world.

The Congress will take delegates on a memorable journey through Ireland, Scotland and England, offering an opportunity to experience the diversity of Galloway,  Belted Galloway White Galloways and Riggits cattle and meet the breeders and families behind some of the leading herds across all three countries.

Alongside hosting the international Galloway community, 2027 will also mark the 150th Anniversary of the Galloway Cattle Society. Founded in 1877, this important anniversary provides an opportunity to celebrate the Society’s history and recognise the generations of breeders and members who have worked to promote, protect and develop the Galloway breed over the past century and a half.

Together, these two celebrations – the World Galloway Congress and the Galloway Cattle Society’s 150th Anniversary – promise to make 2027 a particularly memorable year for the Galloway community.

The Congress programme will showcase the rich heritage of both the Galloway,  Belted Galloway, White Galloway and Riggit breeds, while also highlighting their continuing importance within modern, sustainable livestock farming. Delegates will have the opportunity to visit herds and agricultural businesses, experience the countryside and farming traditions of Ireland, Scotland and England, and, importantly, enjoy time together with fellow breeders from around the world.

The Society is also delighted to welcome Scottish Woodlands Ltd as Gold Sponsor of the 2027 World Galloway Congress.

Scottish Woodlands Ltd is one of the UK’s leading forestry management companies, with a strong presence throughout Scotland and extensive experience in woodland creation, forest management and sustainable land use. Working closely with farmers, landowners and rural businesses, the company has a strong connection with the countryside and those who manage it.

Their commitment to the rural sector and sustainable land management makes Scottish Woodlands Ltd a particularly fitting partner for the Congress. The Galloway Family is extremely grateful for their generous support and looks forward to working with the Scottish Woodlands team as preparations continue.

Galloway, Belted Galloway, White Galloways and Riggit cattle are now established in countries throughout the world, and the World Congress provides an important opportunity for the international community to come together, exchange knowledge and experiences, renew old friendships and create new ones.

With the official invitations and itineraries now available, excitement is building for what promises to be an unforgettable event, travelling through Ireland, Scotland and England, celebrating the worldwide Galloway community and marking 150 years of the Galloway Cattle Society.

The Galloway Cattle Society Belted Galloway Cattle Society and Riggit Cattle Society very much look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world in 2027 and sharing these two very special celebrations together.
