We say this every year, but the Fife Club Rally gets bigger and better each time. This year just over 200 tractors attended the gathering at Corston Mill near Strathmiglo in Fife. This year the theme was Nuffield's 60th Anniversary and Peter Small and the rest of the organisers pulled out all the stops to bring the biggest ever gathering of Nuffields and Leylands seen at a Scottish rally. Parked up in a 60 formation, the show included early Nuffield models such as the M4 right through to the later Leyland and Marshall models.

The David Brown club also were out in force at this years rally with local David Brown enthusiasts, the Bells of Forgandenny bringing no less than 13 of their David Brown collection to Cortson Mill.A good mix of Fordsons, Fords, Fergusons and Massey Harris tractors along with a number of commercials, static engines and a Ransome Threshing Machine meant a great day out for all the visitors who attended this years rally. The Fife Club were supporting the Fife Riding for the Disabled charity who gave a demonstration of their carriage driving.

Fife's finest were out in force at the annual show at Kinloss near Cupar with over 50 vintage tractors on display. The vintage tractor section has been growing in popularity year by year at the Fife Show and this years event was no exception. This year Alec brought along a John Deere 6020 and a 1957 four wheel drive Roadless Fordson Major. There was a good variety of tractors on show including George Melville's Lanz Bulldog and many others which can be seen on the picture page. The Fife Show also hosted the first round of the Scottish Tractor Pulling Championship which was a real crowd puller for many.

The weekend also saw the Kelso rally which saw a large number of entrants and a good mix of tractors and commercial vehicles. The picture to the left shows a line up of Nuffields at the rally.
