Thanks to the committee, SSDT and the Edinburgh & District Motor Club Ltd (organisers of the Scottish Six Days Trial since 1911)
Special Thanks: To all the landowners who provide the ground for this amazing event, the local station Nevis Radio and the accommodation establishments and the people of Fort William.

In the first full week in May, we are usually camped up at Fort William in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. However 2020 was to be the year when the actual Scottish Six Days Trial event could not take place because of the Covid-19 virus pandemic.

Marshall and Pearson 2016

Trials Guru decided to have a virtual SSDT instead, using some photographs from previous events just to remind readers what a unique and special event the SSDT really is.

Hold on tight, feet up, LET’S GO!
