The pics from the Flying Scotsman
vintage rally last weekend aroused quite a bit of interest, so on that basis,
some of you might be interested in what's going on next week, this time on the
Classic Car front.

Event and Tour starts from Cameron House at Loch Lomond this Sunday (25th) at
08.30 am with the first of the 85 cars and crews setting off at the start of a 5 day tour of
the Scottish Highlands - with a few distillery visits along the way!

Bentley and Lagonda, plus many others with competitors from all over the UK and
further afield.
So if you're doing nowt next week
