MGs at the Royal Deeside Speedfest, August 21st 2016
The Aberdeen MG Owners' Club and the MG Car Club were both represented at the first Speedfest held at Kincardine O'Neil castle.
Heavy rain during the previous night meant cars had to be towed into position, but the weather held fine for the event itself.
6.40 a.m. MGs assemble at Banchory car park.

Despite the mammoth towing job, the drivers of the Landrover and tractor manage to get all the MGs in place very efficiently.
