A cavalcade of century-old motors stopped by a historic Moray wool mill on a tour of the region yesterday.
Veteran cars, which are specifically vehicles been built prior to 1919, have been catching the eye of residents across the area this week as motor enthusiasts drive between local attractions.
Yesterday, the 26 cars stopped by Johnstons of Wool Mill in Elgin, for a guided tour of the storied cashmere plant.
Richard Dover, who owns a 1912 Alldays and Onions 12hp open tourer, said the classic vehicles proved a hit with the venue’s staff.
Mr Dover, a medicine supplier from Glasgow, said: “We found the tour very interesting indeed, and the staff at Johnstons all came out to inspect our cars.
“Despite some bad weather we’re really enjoying our time in Moray, it has some great scenery.”
The 48-year-old added: “We do get a lot of looks and waves from people as we drive past, you just can’t be miserable when you’re watching these things putter along.”
The tour is being run through the Scottish section of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, and features cars dating as far back as 1902 as well as nine Ford T classics.
Two parties have travelled from Germany to take part in the festivities.
The Moray route has been planned by Rothes couple Sheila and Raymond MacDonald, and has been designed to incorporate the region’s natural beauty spots and whisky heritage.
Last night Mr MacDonald said: “It’s been very pleasant driving around, though as we can only manage maximum speeds of about 30mph we stick to minor roads.
“There have been occasional mechanical hiccups, which is to be expected with the age of these cars, but thankfully for that same reason they are also relatively easy to repair.”
