4. History 3


Club logo

All clubs had their logos and Livingston were not to be left out even at this early stage. We were fortunate to have in our midst one John James. John was an artist and sculptor and worked with British Leyland at Bathgate. His work there was to produce hand drawings of the engine parts as opposed to photographs for owner's manuals.

He was the ideal man for our task. He produced what is now our ubiquitous falcon. On the right is the photograph of the original Livingston and District R.F.C blazer badge. This, of course, is now superceded by the one omitting 'and District'. Sadly, John died some years ago after returning to England.
