In September you may spot some pretty rare cars in the grounds of The Palace of Holyroodhouse as the Concours of Elegance 2015 is coming to the capital. Her Majesty the Queen has granted her permission to the organisers, Thorough Events, to use the royal palace for the first time.
The event was held last year in the grounds of Windsor Castle, and it is the royal connection which makes the event unique. HRH Prince Michael of Kent is the patron of the driving event.
There is an exclusive tour around Scotland which will involve 60 of the rarest cars from around the world and this will have its grande finale on The Royal Mile.
There will also be hundreds of other cars on display in Edinburgh from the most prestigious automobile manufactures and car clubs across the UK. The car clubs will have the opportunity of competing for the Club Trophy during the weekend.
While such an event usually features one winner this one will allow all the invited cars to appear as winners, but the owners can vote for another car as the most elegant car in the event.
The main objective of the Concours of Elegance is as a fundraiser for a number of charities.
Tickets and hospitality will be bookable in advance here.
Here is a look at some of the cars which took part last year
