Jock Porter was Scotland’s first Isle of Man TT champion who built his own motorcycles.
Jock won “the most dangerous motorsport event in the world” in 1923 and 1924 and won 10 Grand Prix races.
He was hailed as the ‘Solitary Scot’ who travelled to Europe to compete alone but Scotland’s first TT winner remains the nation’s forgotten star.
