Who do you think has had the best pigeon in the last ten years to race into Scotland, may it be the snfc or the snrpc. My selection has to be the one and only auld reekie.  In my eyes the best pigeon ever!

Yes, Auld Reekie is in a league of his own , a truly remarkable pigeon and easily classed as the best in the UK.

 

In terms of the second best pigeon in Scotland I wouldn't know where to start, there are dozens of them I could mention.

Reims Girl of Jim Donaldson  twice 1st sect Reims then 1 x 1st sect  2 x 2nd sect beaten by loft mate Tours 725 mile  also 7th and 13th open  must be in with a shout of the best

Lets go back just a wee bit further and surely the Greatest ever pigeon to fly into Scotland was the double Gold Award Winner the one and only Fortune Lady.Whats maybe more important is what have all the above Great Pigeons left and what impact are they now making in the S.N.F.C. only time will tell.

S Fergusons pigeon this year,1st sec 6th open and 1st sec 1st open snfc tours only bird on day,and it also has another couple of tickets to its name.

 

This is another cracker, alot of top pigeons not getting enough publicity.

it must be remembered that my loft was broken into and sir,colin,s wing broken at 4 years old , off course no one could ever say he would have scored again,but for a distance pigeon he was just in his prime .

 

my vote would undoubtingly go to auld reekie of w kinnear and son .for winning positions

but there has been many great pigeons over the years  fortune lady [the only double gold award winner ] must rate as one of the best ever over its ten year racing carreer .

 

one seldom  mentioned  is l mitchell of inverkeithing,s  b pied hen , this pigeon being 8th open in the hardest rennes race ever [only 21 timed in race time] scored a total of 7 times from over 500 miles

"Auld Reekie" has to be the best of the best with 1+1 = 2 1st nationals and many other quailty performances as well.

auld reekie tremendous pigeon also john duthie from dundee his gold award winner as good as it gets excellent pigeon

A note about Fortune Lady is that her dam scored 5 or 6 times and her g.dam ( Flower of Scotland   )scored 7 times all with the SNFC at over 500 miles. What a line of champion distance winning pigeons

Posted

Seen it mentioned somewhere, but not in relation to Scotland, a 'Hall of Fame'.

 

Fortune Lady is the only pigeon featured in SNFC Yearbook. I think there should be a Hall of Fame set up where birds performances, such as those mentioned here, can be recorded for posterity.

 

The thread also highlights a possible gap in 'the standard' and current 'Gold' might not be sufficient honour. Auld Reekie for example won 2 Nationals which I think might be a unique achievement? Does winning more than one National not merit a Special Award of some kind, given the absence of a Hall of Fame and the very few birds that might achieve it?
