The Restoration of Rangers Graves Project and Robert Cumming Hamilton.

[The Moonlighter 387]

Back in 2019 the Restoration of Rangers Graves Project received a call from the Burghead RSC informing us that Rangers great RC Hamilton was sadly resting in an unmarked grave in a cemetery in Elgin.

 

After a series of phone calls and emails with Elgin council and the local stonemason we’re absolutely delighted to say that this has now been rectified and a memorial stone to a Rangers great was placed today.

 

Rangers 1897-1908.

 

376 appearances and an incredible 312 goals.

 

Four League Championships Two Scottish Cups.

 

This is what your donations achieve. Thank you.

 

As we celebrate our 55th Title we today remember Robert Cumming Hamilton.

Absolutely brilliant and the very best of what we all want our club to be.

 

(If you don't mind a small suggestion, don't put full-stops on the headstone)

That is excellent work. Thank you.

 

Some records have RC making his first appearance for City on 2 December 1893 at the age of sixteen years, two hundred and three days. Elgin didn’t join the Highland League until 1896 so in that respect the inscription is accurate.
