Liberton Lions Rider Identified "You have a question mark against the rider at the back-left in this photo. In fact, it is Alan Douglas, a regular rider for Scottish Rangers at Harrison Park." Alistair Sime: September 17, 2015 |

Seafield Saints "I rode for Seafield Saints between 1966 and 1969. but only visited the Liberton track once during that period. We rode on the Leith Links track, along with: - Alan Douglas - Ian Archibald - Billy Penny - Ralph Cook - Jonny Miller and others that I can't recall. I wasn't very good so I didn't progress like Alan, Ian and the great John Murphy (who Ian still meets regularly)." Alistair Sime: September 18, 2015 |
