ABOUT THE WEBSITE
This personal website was constructed and is made available by myself as the sole owner of the registered domain name www.flying-scot.com The primary purpose of the website is to gather any surviving historical information related to the cycle manufacturing, retail and wholesale company set up by David Rattray in Glasgow. In particular but not exclusively the pedal cycles that they manufactured and primarily sold under the brand name’s ‘The Scot,' and ‘The Flying Scot’ but also including others produced and sold by them of their own manufacture between 1928 and 1983.

The aim is to share this information and make it widely available and to get a better understanding of how the Flying Scot bicycles were produced and sold. The registered names “The Scot” “The Flying Scot” and “Milano” were as assets of David Rattray & Co. Ltd. sold by the liquidators in 1983. These were purchased by Dales (Cycles) Ltd. Frames and Cycles were produced by Dales (Cycles) Ltd. until 1999 and are also included in the information provided here.
