After a two-year break in organising the annual Classic Car Tour due to the pandemic, Rotary in Inverness Loch Ness has finally seen the classics return.
The cars took a 160-mile route taking in the Beauly Firth before heading west through Garve to Achnasheen and then along Strathcarron before soaring over the Skye Bridge to the lunch venue in Kyleakin.
The aim of the tour was to raise sponsorship for Prostate Scotland and this year’s funds added up to an incredible £5,000.
