At Carricknowe Golf Course in Edinburgh there is a plaque to this brave man. Does anyone know who commissioned the plaque, the significance of the location, and why it is not cleaned?

Hello!
If you haven't already done so - if you put his name in the Custom Search at the top, you'll find out about him - where he was from etc. A very brave young man, indeed.

He grew up in that area and went to school nearby but not sure of the golf plaque origins. Have you asked the club?
