Statue of John Rattray sited on Leith Links
Our long-term 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.
The last 12 months have been both frustrating and rewarding. A number of
legal obstacles have been raised that has delayed progress, but towards
the end of 2011 the City of Edinburgh Council had agreed to an amendment
to legislation to permit us to continue.
Various MSPs and local councillors have given their backing and
practical support to the project and we also have the support of local
community groups. At times we feel it is akin to trying to roll a large
stone up a hill, but with we are confident we will provide an
appropriate
and lasting
legacy to the founding fathers of the rules of golf. |
