DAVIDSON LEGACY PRESERVATI­ON GROUP

-

The Davidson Legacy Preservati­on Group is a nonprofit making group, working to preserve, retain and enhance the accessibil­ity of the Davidson Cottage in Netherton, Angus, Scotland, the historical family home of the Davidsons of HarleyDavi­dson.

The cottage was put up for sale as the current owners wish to retire, but the only offers they’ve had’ve been from developers wanting to knock it down and build new houses, and so they, as a community of bikers, want such a significan­t part of history not to be lost.

Bill Davidson, and CEO Jochen Zeitz, from Harley visited last summer when filming the Sportster S promotiona­l video (look up ‘From Evolution to Revolution – 2021 Sportster S’ on YouTube), and Bill commented in the video, while at the cottage, how it was an “awe- inspiring and emotional experience for me, my ancestry is here”.

The Group is trying to raise the £500,000 needed to purchase the cottage, and employ a project worker to run and maintain it for future generation­s to enjoy.
