Record turnout for classic car show in Inverness

Inverness Classic Car Show
Inverness Classic Car Show

Organisers have hailed “a magical day” as a record number of classic vehicles took to the streets of Inverness.

The Inverness Classic Vehicle Show took over the city centre on Saturday, with a record 130 vintage machines from the 1920s onwards put on show.

It’s the seventh year of the show organised by Inverness Bid – and for the first time vehicles were put on show on the grounds of Inverness Castle.

The event proved so popular this year that Inverness Bid bosses were forced to cap the number of entrants at 130.

Vintage vehicles were also displayed in the High Street, Eastgate Precinct, Inglis Street and Falcon Square.

Crowds were also entertained by street performers and live music across the city centre.

The event concluded with a parade along the High Street, led by the Northern Constabulary Community Pipe Band.

Cars were also parked in the pedestrianised section of Church Street – although plans to use the lower end of the street had to be scrapped to avoid causing disruption to the traffic plans put in place as result of the Academy Street fire.

This meant Inverness Castle was used instead – and Bid manager Mike Smith said it proved such a success it would hopefully be brought back for next year’s event.

He said: “It’s safe to say it was our biggest and best yet.

“We had a record number of vehicles right through the city centre, and with the street entertainment it really was a magical day.

“It was a lovely day too, only a couple of spots of rain, so that helped get people out and about.”

One of the star attractions was an Albion Lowlander bus which was making a return to the Highland capital, where it had ferried passengers in the 1970s.

Also attracting attention was another innovation for this year – a vintage pram display in the Victorian Market.

Mr Smith added: “We really had something for everyone.

“There was a lot of big old buses which were up at the castle, a range of tractors, a Dalmore distillery truck, a selection of old Minis and loads more.

“It was a big success, we’re looking forward to next year now.”
