Classic car and motorbikes are revving up for this Friday and the first Clan Cancer Support cavalcade since 2019.

The cancer charity is keen to hear from owners who would like to join the scenic tour of the North-east which raises awareness and vital funds.

Julie Ferguson, Clan’s Moray local services co-ordinator said: "We always look forward to the cavalcade and we’re delighted to see its return after a three-year hiatus.

"It draws many vintage and classic car owners from across the country while raising much needed funds for those affected by cancer in the local community."

The theme of this year's cavalcade is wood, and the tour will give a nod to some truly unique and highly skilled businesses in the local area.

Drivers will set off after breakfast on Friday from Threaplands Garden Centre.

The pit stops during the day will include Christies Nurseries in Arradoul for a view of their young trees and Turlundie Wood Turners at New Pitsligo.

There will then be a wood turning demo from Wakeley Tree Surgeons and lunch at The Last Bus Café in New Pitsligo.

The day will also include a tour of a new eco house built by AG Stuart in Insch and a wood sculpting demonstration at Garry Shand Chainsaw Sculpting in Dufftown.

Drivers will finally return to Elgin for a two-course meal at The Sunninghill Hotel.

A minimum of £50 in sponsorship is requested from vehicle owners to enter.

Additional fees are required for both meals on the day.

Drivers and navigators wishing to take part should visit www.clancancersupport.org or call 01343 544132.

Clan’s centre on Elgin High Street is open Monday to Thursday offering support, information, and a range of complementary therapies.
