VisitScotland has announced a new way to boost tourism: invite-only luxury car events.
The Cognoscenti will host road trips and hotel stays for owners of sports, luxury and historic cars produced before 1973.
The Cognoscenti event has been set up by businessmen David Goodwin and Raymond Gray.
Mr Goodwin said: “The response from our first event has been somewhat overwhelming.
“It proves that there is a desire from discerning classic car owners to join like-minded people in pursuit of their passion.”
VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay said the events would benefit from Scotland’s “plethora of great driving roads and breathtaking scenery”.
He believes the events will act as a “great endorsement” of Scottish tourism.
Minister for Tourism Fergus Ewing said: “It is encouraging to see owners holding these popular events in Scotland providing a boost to our tourism industry in the process.”
