I also live in Fife and have started showing my Bantams this year, I think the small agricultural shows is a good way to start, we have the Fife show the East Fife show and I think the Kinross show has poultry. There is also a couple of shows a Coaltown of Balgonie all and more can be found on the net and are not far from you. Preparation for shows information can be also found on the net, hope that helps cheers.

We have a very good barnvelder man in scotland mick grogan .I dont show eney more the trick  is to see haw good they are if you put 2 good pullits in carlile you will now haw good they are .You get red card for first and then a best breeders card  .People will wont youre stock and eggs . .You can  up the game by getting new stock whith the money you have made on youre stock .You also need to no who is top at youre breed . Mick shows at the scotish natshnal and wins .Is stock will be for sale at dingwall november .It is better to have good stock and showing is a good hobey. club shows like peebles poultrey club                https://www.facebook.com/groups/180570405310749/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/180570405310749/)
