John Rattray Statue

Leith Rules Golf Society
The aim of the Society is to increase the recognition of Leith Links as the home of the earliest recorded rules of golf and one of the game's prominent early locations

		Statue of John Rattray sited on Leith Links Our major project is to fund a statue of John Rattray, the Captain of the club at the Links in 1744 and the signatory to the first rules. In spite of many obstacles, significant progress continues to be with the project. On 31st January a major milestone was achieved, with the City of Edinburgh Council approving the plans. It now moves on to the Scottish Parliament for ratification. David Annand has been given the commission. Fund raising has started, though it is in the early stages.
