✨ Ardersier Gala 2026 – another belter! ✨
Now that everything’s been taken down, packed up, and we’ve all had a chance to catch our breath, I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this year! 🙌
Loads of vehicles that we haven’t seen before and we appreciate every one of you who came along on such a dreich day.
The weather certainly kept us on our toes but it didn’t stop hundreds and hundreds of you turning out and bringing such a brilliant atmosphere with you all day long. 🌤️🌦️
From start to finish, the field was buzzing. We had an incredible lineup of traders, loads of tasty food options, and a full schedule that kept things moving right through the afternoon.
🚗 The Classic Car Show & Parade once again pulled in a fantastic crowd, with an amazing variety of vehicles on display. It never gets old seeing such a mix of motors – and even better seeing so many of you come along to show them off and support the event.
This year’s winners were:
🏆 Best in Show
• Alasdair Sharp - Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
🎖️ Highly Commended
• Logan Innes - Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
• Tim Griffin - Volkswagen Beetle
• David Henderson - Austin Maxi
• Dean White - Ford Mustang
🏆 Alistair Stewart Memorial Shield
• Garry Inglis - Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI
🚜 Sandy Grant Memorial Shield for Best Tractor
• Uve Brandstatter
Massive congratulations to all our winners and entrants – the standard this year was outstanding! 👏
🙏 We’d also like to give a big shoutout to our sponsors, whose continued support makes the Gala possible year after year. Your contribution to the community really does make a difference, and we’re so grateful to have you backing us.
Thank you to;

📸 We’ll be sharing plenty of photos soon, so keep an eye out – and if you’ve got any great snaps from the day, feel free to send them our way!
Days like this don’t happen without the people who show up, take part, lend a hand, and support the event – so thank you all once again for being part of it.
Same time next year? Let’s hope for a full day of sunshine… but no promises!
