Sir Jackie Stewart Waves the Tour Off
The first leg of the Highland tour began on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. The cars drove the Rest and Be Thankful hillclimb, before moving on to Inverary Castle, the Falls of Dochart and back to Loch Lomond ahead of tomorrow’s leg which will take in the Trossachs and the route to Edinburgh.
The Concours of Elegance will open on Friday 4th September in the grounds of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, followed by a parade down the Royal Mile. A lot of the cars that are taking part in the Highland Tour will also be featured in the Concours of sixty of the world’s rarest cars at the Palace.
