Tartan golfwear range launched to support My Name’5 Doddie Foundation

A limited-edition range of tartan golfwear inspired by the late Scottish rugby legend and MND campaigner Doddie Weir has been launched to help raise money to support the search for a cure for the disease.

Edinburgh-based Royal & Awesome is behind the new range – which includes trousers (£54.99), shorts (£44.99) and caps (£19.99) in Doddie’s blue and yellow tartan – with 15% of every sale going directly to fund research into MND.

Graeme Smeaton, founder of Royal & Awesome, said: “If there was ever someone who embodied what Royal & Awesome aspires to be, it was Doddie Weir. He was brave, bold and brilliant – and he knew an outstanding pair of trews when he saw them. My Name’5 Doddie Foundation is doing incredible work to fund vital MND research and we look forward to donations from the sale of these limited-edition products supporting the continued efforts to find a cure.”

Paul Thompson, director of fundraising at the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, added: “Royal & Awesome is a brand that focuses on having fun and making an impact, and that’s exactly what Doddie was all about. We’re sure this range will be highly sought after and hope to see many friends and supporters of Doddie and beyond sporting the range as the golf season approaches.”
