Our HistoryIngliston Racing Circuit came to life in 1965 as a project by the Royal Highland Agricultural Society Of Scotland to build a motorsport facility as a new asset at their venue west of Edinburgh. The circuit comprised a route which was comprised from the original grid network of access roads in the venue. Only the Esses (around 200 meters) of track were built from scratch as no appropriate roadway was available.

Over 30 years, the venue hosted regular race meetings. It was infamous for its tight 1.3 mile track with little margin for error. In the days before strict safety standards, if you lost control at the wrong point you could find yourself in a lot of trouble, or worse still up a tree!

Famous visitors to Ingliston included ‘The Flying Scotsman’ Sir Jackie Stewart, most famously in 1970 when he raced his Ford F1 car round the circuit. Other famous visitors to the circuit include the late Jim Clark, Allan McNish, Dario Franchitti and David Coulthard. However, by the mid 90’s the circuit had become too expensive to maintain and racing came to an end.

The resurgenceof Ingliston CircuitIn 2012 the circuit saw life again when a regular supercar driving event launched on the southern part of the original track, using one of the narrower link roads to create a smaller circuit. Increasingly, car clubs started to use the venue for friendly competitions, sprints and rally stages.

Then, in 2015 the inaugural Ingliston Revival ran over a weekend in September, the first time in over 20 years that a public motoring event was held at the venue. The Revival celebrated the 50th anniversary of the circuits inauguration and heralded a new era of high-quality experiences.

The future is once again looking bright for this iconic Scottish Racing Track.

PRIVATE BOXESThe Jim Clark Suites are available as private rooms for 10 guests whilst the Ingliston suite offers a fantastic shared space for our guests. Both afford unparalleled views over the original circuit between the hairpin and left-hander corner of the course. Complete with a terrace at the circuit’s edge, it is perfect for guests wishing to experience the sights and sounds of The Ingliston Revival Classic Car Festival in style. The suites are themed in a 1960’s style with soft furnishings, motorsport memorabilia and framed pictures from old Ingliston.

After dinner speaker:

John ClelandFrom humble beginnings in rallying and hill climbs, to a long career in saloon car racing, predominantly with Vauxhall, John Cleland has an inspiring story to tell.

Arguably one of the best touring car drivers of all time, John has two British Touring Car Championship titles, two Thundersaloon championships and some close run, down to the wire challenges, near misses, incidents and controversies to his name, all of which have made him a household name in motorsport circles.

Auction

A silent auction will be held across the evening with unique lots including fine art, memorabilia and experiences in benefit of our charitable partner, The Jim Clark Trust.

Jim Clark was instrumental to the launch of Ingliston Racing Circuit in 1965 and was a major sponsor of the project. He is widely regarded as one of the

greatest and naturally gifted motor racing drivers of all time, a national hero for Scotland and international icon of the 1960’s. His tragic death at Hockenheim in 1968 stunned the world and helped redefine the future of Formula 1, with a greater emphasis on safety led by his close friend Sir Jackie Stewart, the Trust’s Honorary President.
