Rest and Be Thankful Hill Climb is a disused hill climb course in Glen Croe Argyll, Scotland.The first known use of the road for a hillclimb was in 1906. The event used to count for the British Hillclimb Championship. It is named for the Rest and be thankful, a section of the A83.

In 1952 Motor Sport described the course: "The three danger spots on this course which is 1,425 yards [1,303 m] long, and rises over 400 feet [120 m], are Stone Bridge, Cobblers Corner and the hairpin bend at the finish and of course there is always the occasional sheep that has to be driven off the road."
On 1 July 1961 Jackie Stewart drove a Ford 105E-engined Marcs at an event here. He said: "it's a special place for me, the cradle of my life in motor racing."
