IN 1911, some intrepid driver took a Model T Ford up the side of Ben Nevis and right to the top. It took five days for the car to scramble over rocks and through snow but it made it – which is pretty impressive. I’m not sure a Mondeo would make it today.

Anyway, Ford is celebrating the achievement with a tour of the region and a gathering of 60 Model Ts at the foot of Ben Nevis. It all happens between May 16 and 21. Worth dropping by if you’re on holiday in the Highlands.
