Held in previous years at Windsor Castle, St James’s Palace and Hampton Court Palace, the format for the 2015 Concours of Elegance remains unchanged: bringing together 60 of the world's finest cars at a picturesque location (with royal connections) in the UK. The setting for 2015, the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, was built in 1671 and will provide a fine backdrop for the cars amassed in the surrounding gardens designed in the 19th Century for Prince Albert.

New location, familiar format

The 2015 Concours of Elegance will take place 4-6 September 2015, with 4 September designated as an owners-only day that hosts the grand arrival of the two-day pre-event tour. ‘Best of Show’ winners will be announced on Saturday 5th, allowing visitors to assess the judges' decisions the following day.
