THURSDAY 19th July, 2018 marked a Golden celebration for Scotland, as 361 Golden Retrievers gathered with their proud owners to mark the 150th anniversary of the origin of this popular breed. The very first litter of Golden Retrievers was born in 1868, on the Guisachan Estate in Tomich, Ross & Cromarty. The annual gathering of Golden Retrievers at Guisachan has gone from strength to strength, according to Doreen McGuan, Secretary to the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, who tells us that the 188 GRs who attended the gathering in 2006 now number 361.
