A Highland club for car enthusiasts has started a new business relationship with a Ross-shire hotel.

Highland Drivers Club has teamed up with Kincraig Castle Hotel to extend the exclusive luxury experience it brings its members.

Speaking about what Highland Drivers Club is, head organiser Charles Mackintosh said: “It’s a social networking group and good for business networking for car enthusiasts.

“We have around 60 members at the moment and it’s continuing to grow. The criteria for joining is a high end sports car or a supercar. There’s a group for every class of car so we need to keep it exclusive.”
