Word going round the paddock at the Scottish Grand National MX was along the lines of “what a fantastic setting…” and it certainly was a great place to hold a scramble. Laid out by the Scottish Classic Racing Motorcycle Club’s scrambles section, the track was not particularly technical but provided lots of close racing with few spills and a great weekend for competitors and spectators alike.

Riders from several European countries such as Belgium, France and Eire, plus a few coming further afield from the USA and Australia, joined a full contingent of Scottish and English riders. On hand to mingle, mix and present an award or two at the end was former world MX champion Graham Noyce.
