Ferraris, Aston Martins and Bugattis are also expected to be part of the display.
Concours of Elegance director James Brooks-Ward said: “It’s absolutely fantastic we’ll be able to celebrate Scotland’s incredible motoring heritage as part of our event, and we’re privileged to have the support of motorsport icons like Sir Jackie Stewart.”
The previous events have been held at Windsor Castle, St James’s Palace and Hampton Court Palace.
