Venue Description

This museums tells the story of Scotland’s first Formula One World Champion – one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. During a career lasting over 11 years, Jim Clark secured double Formula One World Championships, conquered the Indy 500 and won many other races around the world during the 1950s and 60s. As well as viewing many of the trophies that Jim Clark won throughout his career, we have a changing programme of exhibitions. A highlight of any visit is our changing programme of period cars associated with Jim Clark. Our interactive museum allows you to explore Jim’s incredible career in motorsport and his life beyond, and all in Duns Berwickshire, the area in which he grew up and farmed. This vibrant visitor attraction is a must for motor racing fans and everyone looking for a great day out!
