before racing started at Winfield Airfield Circuit
The MotorSport digital archives from 1924 have reports, results and news from which I may draw information about Scottish events and drivers. Written by people with more knowledge than I have, the Veterans of Scottish Motorsport Association website has some very interesting history of motor sport in Scotland.
There is an interesting article about the post-war Scottish specials which were competing both before and at Winfield. Titled "Day of the Jackal", this Herald story from 1998 is well worth reading.
From the same year the Herald ran an interesting story titled "memorable diversions into history" about pre-war motor sport in Scotland.

Mr. S. McLaren of Edinburgh with his car at Thirlestane, not one that raced at Winfield or Charterhall but worth showing here.
WAR IS COMING - BERWICK BE PREPARED!
In the Spring of 1938, Mr Dodds, a prominent grocer and tea merchant, warned
members of the Guild of Commerce that war was coming and Berwick had to be
prepared! But few of Berwick's 12,000 inhabitants were ready to head the warning.
