Wednesday 8th September 1982

Norrie Galbraith, three time winner of the Scottish Hillclimb Championship, died at Doune hillclimb, during a television promotional event before the race. He encountered a tractor in his path that was coming back down the hill, the farmer thinking that it was the lunch break. After his death, the annual Norrie Galbraith Memorial Trophy was held by the Association of British Hillclimb organisers’.
