The Rally Hotel will be the famous Crieff Hydro which was opened in 1868 as a Hydropathic Spa.
The original founder’s great-great-grandnephew Stephen Leckie is the current CEO and Stephen’s wife Fiona and their children also work in the business so it is truly a family run hotel.

Crieff is on the border of the farming lands that run east to the seaside resorts of St Andrews and Anstruther and west to the highlands, forests and lochs.   

Scotland has over 2,000 Castles for you to explore!

Plus the darkest nights for you to enjoy the stars.

The week's events

Wednesday 4th June

We will start welcoming guests on Wednesday 4th June 2025 with a buffet in the evening, which proved very popular at Arundel in 2024.

We will do things a bit differently this year. There will be no organised trips on Thursday and Friday.

Thursday 5th and Friday 6th June

But we will have suggestions and details about routes and attractions. It will then be up to members themselves to discuss at the breakfast tables who is going where and make their own arrangements.

Saturday 7th June

On Saturday, the hotel owner Stephen Leckie, who as you all know is also a club member and well known classic car collector and restorer, will open up his many garages and sheds to show us his latest projects. His professional tools and 4-poster lift will also be available to us, should any member have technical problems with their car or just wants to check something.

As an alternative to this, we are working with a local traditional tartan shop to give a talk and demonstration to those who are not ‘car crazy’.

Saturday Evening
7th June

Saturday evening will see a traditional Scottish Carvery and Ceilidh, with the Haggis being piped in by our resident Bagpiper.

 

The theme will be “dining with the cars”, but what this exactly entails will remain a secret for now.
