Jim Clark Motorsport Museum

The museum is closed for the winter but we look forward to welcoming you back when we re-open on Sun 01 March for the 2026 season.

About the Museum

Jump into the driving seat and discover one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. This is the story of Scotland’s first Formula One World Champion.

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.

This vibrant visitor attraction is a must for motor racing fans and everyone looking for a great day out!

As well as viewing many of the amazing trophies that Jim Clark won throughout his career, we have a changing programme of exhibitions.

A highlight of any visit is our display of period cars associated with Jim Clark. On display throughout 2026 are:

• Lotus 38
• Lotus Cortina

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.

A great day out for all the family and enthusiasts.
