Raeburn Place Development |
Raeburn Place Development proposals under review - again
Recent publicity on the emergent realities bearing upon Kenny Waugh’s loss making Festival Group of hotels and pubs, including bank talks and significant restructuring proposals, will not have gone unnoticed within the Edinburgh Academical community, particularly in so far as impacting once again on the future of the long-running joint development prospects of the Raeburn Place sports ground and the adjoining Festival Inn’s (a Festival Group company) Raeburn House Hotel.
Members and supporters of the Academical Club, the Accie Football Club and everyone else who has been involved in the painstaking efforts, over the last 10 years or so, to secure the future of Raeburn Place, culminating in the renewed approval earlier this year of an exciting plan, revised and tailored to contemporary aspirations and received with widespread enthusiasm – and optimism, will be disappointed, not for the first time, at this latest turn of events throwing doubt on the shape of the future for the ground.
The Club is aware of the significant effect that these unfolding circumstances do have on the current development proposals for the sports ground. A variety of revised/alternative options are now being actively explored in these changed circumstances, and the Club is in communication with all relevant parties and interests, including Festival Group’s corporate representatives, in order to identify the optimum course of action on which to build anew in the best interests of the Club.

Chairman, Edinburgh Academical Club Council

Watt Memorial Trust |
The Watt Trust was set up in 1983 in memory of Rob Watt (S1911-16) and his wife Barbara. He was a distinguished OF, whose teaching career ended with eleven years as Rector of the Edinburgh Academy (1951-62). In retirement he returned to his old school, where he was Keeper of the Fettes Register until 1979.
The aim of the Trust is to give financial assistance to past and present members of Fettes and the Edinburgh Academy, to enable them to “advance their education or professional training beyond the point at which public funds or university scholarships are available, or when private or family sources alone are not quite adequate for the purpose.”

Latest rugby news |
During the last season the 1st XV played 27 games in the league and cup and won 14 of them. They completed their last match on Tuesday 12th May, beating Heriots 33-27. It was a fine end to the season and the whole team played well.
It has been a mixed season for the 2nd XV with regard to results, but the overall development of the team has been good. They finished mid table in their division with 9 wins - an improvement on last years tally of 6 wins.
The Blues (3rd XV) and Whites (4th XV) had a challenging season. They not only had to feed the Accies 2nd XV but also had to feed Broughton 1st XV and the BATs Development Team. The Blues, in Division 4, however, managed do the club proud and finished second in their league. The Whites, in Division 5, were the only 4th XV in their league and finished a creditable fourth. |
