More than 1,000 vintage vehicles rolled up to Glamis Castle at the weekend for the 39th Scottish Transport Extravaganza.
Thousands of enthusiasts from across the UK travelled to the historic Tayside venue to witness an unrivalled festival of classic cars, motorcycles, tractors and bikes.
A huge display of automobiles ranging from a 1903 Ford to a 2011 Porsche Boxter ensured visitors of all ages had something to get excited about.
Hundreds of competitive exhibits built between 1890 and 1975 were entered for judging, with more than 40 car clubs in attendance.
Saturday began with a performance from Forfar Pipe Band followed by the skills of 3Sixty Bicycle Stunt Team, a dog show, and various car displays.
An impressive collection of military vehicles entered the arena yesterday, followed by vintage tractors and heavy and light commercial and steamers.
A period dress contest was held on Sunday alongside an extensive range of competition categories for each vehicle type, such as best classic motorcycle and best 40-year-old in show.
Gillian Carmoodie, 28, from Glenrothes, who is chairwoman of the Scottish Standard Group, was at the festival with her 1957 Standard motorcar.
She said: “You don’t have to own a classic car to be here. Some people just have fond memories of their old cars.
“My car is called Henry and I have had him for 3 years. I always fancied an old car ever since I saw my first Standard around 10 years ago in Dunfermline.”
Robert Tweedie, 49, a gardener from Blairgowrie, parked his 1990 Mini at the Tayside Classic Car Club section.
He said: “I bought it for £500 nine years ago and I have spent £3,500 on it. I certainly won’t get any of that back. Quite a few hours have gone into it, that’s for sure.”
Brian Hopkins from Airdie, a member of the Lea Francis owners’ club, showed visitors inside his vintage vehicle.
He said: “We all like cars, not just one make of car, and you will often find one enthusiast is in more than one car club.
“Attending these events and finding out the history of each vehicle is what it is all about.”
Lord Strathmore congratulated the Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club on organising the event, hailing their efforts as “contributing to the preservation of an important part of Scottish history”.
Vendors selling rare car parts and other merchandise were in place on both days alongside charity stalls, including Forfar Community Bus Trust, who hope to raise £25,000 towards a replacement bus.
Many exhibitors opted to camp in the castle grounds for the full weekend to enjoy the crafts tent and stalls from antiques dealers and local sellers.
