Eric Liddell was known as the “Flying Scotsman” even though he was born in China. Yet when the 100 meter Olympic qualifying rounds were announced for Sunday, July 6th, 1924, Eric knew he could not participate in the race he was considered the clear favorite. Instead, on Sunday, July 6th, Eric preached the Sunday morning sermon at The Scots Kirk in Paris.
The structure was rebuilt in the 1950s and again in 2002.
