    Red Hackle Tour - 4 May  

    Great entry, super locations, terrific route, topped off with blue skies and sunshine greeted starters of the club's first event of the season.  While still on the chilly side for early May crews with soft and folding tops could keep them down for the entire day. With visits to Glenturret  distillery and Drummond Castle Gardens on our route coupled with amazing views from our route, meant a great day out for our classic crews. This favourite in the calendar started and finished again at the Black Watch Museum Perth. Organisers Ron & Jan Adam with George Shand and Duncan Massie put together a route that many of the crews thoroughly enjoyed.

    A sun soaked day for this annual event, to which Rona and I joined to assist with signing on and Concours d'Elegance judging. Offering the option of a long, 100 mile route and shorter 'sortie' for the elderly vehicles allowed time to see the exciting coutryside north of Glasgow.

    See video of a selection of starters as they depart from the Nuffield Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Milngavie Club, near Glasgow.

    Scotland resounded to not only the RSAC Spring Run, but also the Flying Scotman crossing the border travelling up the east side of our sun soaked country at the same time.

    FBHVC National Historic Vehicle Survey
    Please participate in this crucial National Historic Vehicle Survey run by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) and keep transport heritage on our roads

    The survey typically takes around 10-15 minutes to complete (for one vehicle), and is best completed in 'one sitting'. You can come back to it at any time, which is helpful if you have multiple vehicles.

    Survey of individuals who own historic vehicles (more than 30 years old), click here:

    https://survey.websurveycreator.com/s/fbhvcenthusiast


    The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs will have to argue even more strongly for historic vehicles to retain their current access and freedoms on our roads in the coming years as we navigate the most challenging period in our history.
