The Scottish Rally, Scotland’s oldest rally, returns to Dumfries and Galloway on Saturday 18 May.

The 74th edition of the event will be based in and around Moffat and the forests of Ae and Eskdalemuir.

A number of Dumfries and Galloway teams will be participating in the two and four-wheel drive categories, to compete in the Scottish Rally Championship series.

David Bogie, a confirmed starter, is seeking to win for a record sixth time, and is hoping to match the number of victories won by Roger Clark.

Rally organisers are preparing a full day of entertainment in Moffat.

We are delighted to be returning to Dumfries and Galloway for the 23rd RSAC Scottish Rally to be based in the region. The welcome we receive each year from Dumfries and Galloway Council, and from the local community in Moffat, is outstanding, and I’d like to thank everyone for supporting this major event. We look forward to some hard-fought competition on the special stages. If you’re going out to spectate, have a great day – but please read the safety instructions online and in the programme, listen to the marshals, and make sure you abide by the road traffic laws. If you’d like to help as a marshal and get even closer to the action, we’d be pleased to hear from you. Newcomers are welcome and are paired with more experienced marshals.”
