Classic Cars

Scotland's Best B&Bs was proud to be one of the sponsors for the Perthshire Classic Car Tour 2023 which is organised by the Rotary Club of Perth in aid of charity.   
The 2024 event will take place on 21st April when up to 120 classic cars will drive from Perth through rural Perthshire along the banks of Loch Tay and finishing in Glencoe, before returning south through Appin and Lochawe to Tyndrum and then Crieff. The previous 5 events have raised over £130,000 for charities. This is one of Scotland's premier motoring events which is a wonderful opportunity for classic car owners to drive through iconic scenery while raising money for charity.   
For more information about this event, see the official website for the Perthshire Classic Car Tour.
