Heritage group launches campaign to save Scottish Cottage where the Harley Davidson story began

On the Daily Record (Scotland):

Davidson Cottage, located between Forfar and Brechin, was home to the famous motorcycle family before they emigrated to the US.

In Angus, located between Forfar and Brechin you'll find an unassuming little cottage that just so happens to be where the global success story that is Harley Davidson once began.

Davidson Cottage was the childhood home of William C. Davidson, the father of the three brothers who would go on to join forces with friend Bill Harley to create the world's most famous motorcycle company.

However, a group dedicated to preserving the brand's heritage fear for the cottage's future after it was put up for sale after the current owners decided they wanted to retire.

The Davidson Legacy Preservation Group (DLPG) are now worried the site could be knocked down by developers to build new houses.
