Great roads and – for some – open top motoring in the Angus sunshine.

It made for the perfect Sunday as car enthusiasts fired up their pride and joy for the seventh running of Forfar Rotary Club’s Strathmore classic car tour.

Since 2014 it has become a favourite trip for classic and sports car owners, raising more than £65,000 for charity in the process.

And it always gets a good crowd to watch the field of around 60 cars flagged off from Motech garage at Forfar’s Greens car park.

On Sunday, the field – including motorcyles for the first time – headed west to Perthshire.

The tour enjoyed a lunch stop at Aberfeldy, before working its way back to the annual Glamis Castle finish line.

Proceeds from this year’s tour are once again going to CHAS, which received more than £9,000 from the event in 2023.

“We’re always very grateful for the support of enthusiasts who take part in this great day out,” said a spokesman.

The Rotary club also thanked main sponsors Fiskens of Forfar and Guild Homes.
