We are planning a comprehensive drive of approximately 150 miles to show you the best of Highland Scotland, with mile after mile of quiet and scenic roads.

We are grateful to our main sponsors, Arnold Clark BMW and all our other sponsors and supporters for their help.

The Tour will raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, Aquabox and the Rotary Club of Spey Valley Charitable Trust.

The Tour is open to all Vintage, Historic, Classic Cars, Modern Sports Cars and EVs and Hybrid Cars. Entries are limited to 60 cars.

There will be no entry fee for this day of fun and fellowship amongst like minded car enthusiasts, but all entrants are asked to raise sponsorship – minimum of £75 per car with funds raised going equally to the three nominated charities.

Entrants are asked to seek donations and sponsorship from friends, family, colleagues and business associates.
