One of the highlights of the year is photographing the Tain Gala, and this year the gala committee is also organising a vintage car rally. So it was a very nice surprise to be asked to do a photograph for the cover of the car rally brochure.

The gala committee arranged for three vintage vehicles to be brought in to Tain high street one evening and we tried a few different ideas there, but eventually we went down to the links (park) and produced something a lot better:

Left to right in that photo are: Willie Ross with a Nuffield 10/60 tractor, Donnie Mackay with a BSA 650cc Thunderbold motorcycle, and George Sutherland with a 1921 Ford Model T Doctors Coupe that he rebuilt, starting with only the chassis.
