Next Event
THE NEXT BO'NESS SPEED HILL CLIMB WILL BE HELD OVER THE WEEKEND OF
05 AND 06 SEPTEMBER 2026
Enter the 2026 Bo’ness Hill Climb
Bo’ness Hill Climb is held at the oldest motor racing venue in Scotland. Racing first took place here in 1934 and continued until 1966. The track was restored and revived in 2008, and since then the annual Bo’ness Hill Climb has welcomed historic sports and racing cars back to Kinneil Estate.
The event is run for charity, with all profits from the hill climb weekend donated to national and local causes. Over the past three years we have donated well over £30,000 to charity.
This year we have some spaces left in the paddock and have decided to open our entry list to cars of any age. If this interests you, please contact the Club via the messaging service on our website and we will let you know how to enter.
All profits from the weekend go to charity, so you will have the chance to compete at a unique and historic venue while supporting worthy causes.
And remember — if you compete at Bo’ness, you’ll be following in the wheel tracks of famous names including Jim Clark, Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart.

2025 Hill Climb
2025 was the fourth hill climb organised by Bo’ness Sporting Automobile Club and saw the welcome return of the event's associated classic car show. Our aim is to preserve the heritage and tradition of motorsport at Kinneil Estate. None of this could have been possible without the support of our Club Patrons, Friends, Members and the wider motorsport community.
The Club wishes to sincerely thank John Clark of the John Clark Group and Dr Barry Wood for their support once again in 2025.
We would also like to thank Lynsey Gow, Lesley Sweeney, Mike Ewart and Alan Brodie of Falkirk Council for their help.
Special thanks also to the residents of Kinneil Estate who will live through three days of motorsport on their doorsteps plus all the noise and bustle of the set-up and take-down periods.
Finally, we would like to thank the following groups and individuals who have helped in some way to make this event a success – Chris Ryan and Ewan and Alex of JMW Systems, The Friends of Kinneil, Sean and Steve at Sustainable Thinking Scotland, LocHire, Event-a-Loo, Lothian Car Club, Mini Spares, Colin at Robertson Timber for his support yet again this year, Brian Raeburn and Gary & Ryan Maxwell for their local help and expertise, Peter Speakman for his constant encouragement, Mark and Nairn Jardine for course set-up, Colin McLachlan for his infectious enthusiasm and support, Alan Biggar and Jim Pettigrew for the Paddock, Alex Hazelwood for the programme and of course all the officials who are helping this weekend Campbell Deas, Billy Cater, Jim Reid, Jonathan Louden, Hazel Galbraith, Chaz Marshman and all his marshals, Jock Ramsay, Tim MacKay, Douglas Paterson, Linlithgow Air Cadets and all the other unnamed volunteers who work away behind the scenes.
