Speed Festival is a roaring success

-

The launch of The Royal Deeside Speed Festival saw 8,000 people attend the event at Kincardine Castle on Sunday, which included a speed hill climb in the stunning surroundin­gs of Royal Deeside.

Hill climb enthusiast James Parker laid the track having been racing cars for decades and 130 drivers took part.

There was also a soapbox Derby and various manufactur­e displays alongside 4x4 safaris.

The event was such a success that there are already plans afoot to hold it again next year.
