The life of athlete and missionary Eric Liddell is being celebrated in a new exhibition hosted by the Scottish Parliament. Organised by The Eric Liddell 100 campaign, the exhibition marks the centenary of Liddell’s sprinting success at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, and explores the Christian convictions that inspired him. Courageous‘Eric Liddell: Legacy of an Olympic Legend’, which goes on display at Holyrood on Saturday, enables visitors to explore the life and legacy of “the Flying Scotsman” and 1924 Olympic champion. Eric Liddell smashed the record for the 400m sprint at the 1924 #ParisOlympics, and was later immortalised in the film 'Chariots of Fire'. The traitor became a hero and went on to give his life in mission, eventually dying as a prisoner of war.”
