Sporting Scotsmen

Not an interest of mine, but I picked up this lot because of the hammer throw medal. I am giving it to my nephew, so I won't be adding it to my permanent collection.
The fun is in the research. Apparently, C R Bauchope was a prominent sports person in Victorian Scotland. First Edinburgh sports champion! Bauchope

The Dancing medal was won by A. Davidson, of Keith.
The Glass Games may be a series of events held by artisans in the glass trade, up in Moray.
As for Davidson, he may have served in the 6th V B Gordon Highlanders (Banffshire Rifles).
