A festival entirely devoted to pugs is to be held in Scotland for the first time.

Organisers of PugFest, a popular event dubbed the Glastonbury for pugs, will venture north next year after fans of the wrinkled pooches kept calling for it to come to Scotland.

Tickets for the event are to be released "very soon" according to organisers and the event will be held on April 29, 2018 at the Scottish National Equine Centre in West Lothian.

Co-organiser, Martin Clowes, 49, said the group received a huge amount of interest and suggestion from venues all over the country.

"Everyone is really excited about the event already," says Martin. "We have wanted to hold PugFest in Scotland for a long time and we are so pleased it's finally happening.

"There is a real buzz about the event already, and we have already had offers from Scottish people who want to have stalls at the event.

"We think it'll be called 'Och Aye Pug The Noo'. I can just see all the pugs in kilts already."

The event, which is in its third year, has attracted more than 125,000 visitors to various PugFest events - with many travelling down from Scotland to attend.

And now organisers will host a Highland Games themed festival for pugs all over Scotland after tickets went on sale on Tuesday.
