1940s
Where it all started
It all started late in 1949 that a group of Scots enthusiasts led by Tom Leggat from Edinburgh and Norman Lithgow, helped found a club that really started the ball rolling to get motor racing started in Scotland. They approached Edinburgh City Council, with the suggestion that they hold a sprint meeting along the promenade, that stretched from Granton, along to Cramond, but this didn’t go ahead.
