Hugh Flockhart
#5
I am sure others can better list Hugh's contributions to chess in Scotland.  However, there are two things which should certainly be recorded.
Hugh introduced the Adult Grand Prix which did so much to encourage congress participation.  He was also the driving force behind bringing the British Championships to Edinburgh in 2003.
Either of those achievements would be a fitting memorial.

Although ill health restricted his activity in recent years he will still be a huge loss to the chess scene in Edinburgh and the whole country.

He will be sadly missed.
