A major gathering of scooters from all over the country is buzzing up the A9 later this year.
The A9 Highlands Scooter Club has organised The Highland Shindig Scooter Rally to take place at Bogbain Farm venue near Inverness on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st September, and raise funds for Inverness based Highland Hospice.
This scooter event is the first in the Highlands for years and promises to be a fun filled weekend with live music, a ceilidh, raffles and games as well as a prize for the furthest travelled automatic and geared scooter.
Event organiser Sid Masson said: “There hasn’t been a scooter event in the Highlands for many years so we thought we would create one.
“We’d rather do it for a local charity and because of all the amazing work they do in our community we chose the Highland Hospice.”
Scooter enthusiasts are traveling from as far south as Cambridgeshire and Manchester to take part in this event.
Highland Hospice Community Fundraiser Emma Nicol said: “We are delighted Sid and the team from the A9 Highlands Scooter Club have chosen Highland Hospice as their charity.
“It’s amazing to hear that so many scooter enthusiasts will be traveling the length and breadth of the country to join in with this exciting event, and the organisers have been working really hard to ensure this is a fantastic weekend for all.
“This donation will help us to continue to look after our patients and their families when they need us most right across the Highlands and we are so grateful for the support.”
Tickets cost £40 per person with under 14s going free. The price of the ticket includes camping on site. There are limited spaces for campervans and vans and these must be pre-booked via the booking site.
