John Rattray, here on #LeithLinks, helped draw up the first rules of #golf and was the winner of the first Open in 1744. Also a doctor and a #Jacobite, he very likely escaped execution after the #JacobiteRising of 1745-6 due to the intervention of his golfing buddy, Duncan Forbes of #Culloden.
Actors depicting the Roderick and James Chisholm, from the 1964 BBC docu-drama, "Culloden," who will feature in my upcoming series, "Crimson Empire." Roderick led a Jacobite company at Culloden, while James served as a Redcoat.
