Announcement

The Perthshire Classic Car Tour 2024, organised by the Rotary Club of Perth, will be held on Sunday 21 April 2024.

We expect over 100 classic cars to assemble at McDiarmid Park in Perth, home of St Johnstone Football Club, before being flagged off by the Provost of Perth & Kinross.

Registration is now open. Please click here.

It promises to be a great day out with an extended tour route heading north from McDiarmid Park, Perth through rural Perthshire along the banks of Loch Tay and on to Glencoe where lunch will be served at the Isles of Glencoe Hotel. The return route will be south through Appin to the Connel Bridge, and then east through Taynuilt and Lochawe to Tyndrum and Loch Earn, before finishing at Crieff Hydro Hotel in time for Dinner and the Awards Ceremony with classic cars from Stephen Leckie’s collection on display.

With the Dinner starting at the earlier time of 5.30pm and the event closing at 7.30pm, entrants are better able to head home afterwards if they wish. The price of the Dinner has been maintained at a very favourable £25 per person for an excellent two course meal and coffee. The Dinner is informal and makes for a really fun, sociable and memorable evening to round off the Car Tour, so please join your fellow car enthusiasts at Dinner.

Insurance is the sole responsibility of the driver. Normally, no special insurance is required for a Classic Car Tour; however, you are advised to check with your insurance provider whether you will be covered for this type of event. A minimum of Third-Party Insurance for all persons who will drive participating vehicles must be applicable for the duration of the event.
