Edinburgh Croquet Club
was founded in 1950 at a meeting organised by the distinguished author Moray McLaren.
Thirty-five people joined, the annual Subscription was 15/- (75p) and Mr McLaren was elected President, an office he
held until his death in 1971.
It was through the good offices of Sir Andrew Murray, then Lord Provost that ground at Lauriston Castle was made available
for play, at an annual rent of £15. One lawn was laid out in 1950 with a second added in 1953. Drainage and levelling work was started by the Edinburgh
Corporation in 1955 and the area rearranged to provide one full-size and two slightly smaller courts.

|
The Club has continued at Lauriston Castle since then, though from 1975 to 1982 there was also
some play at Morningside Park.
In 1956 four members of the touring New Zealand team played exhibition matches (in front of over 60 spectators) and
a match against the Club. In 1959 a Glasgow Club was formed and matches against them began in
1964 (a year in which 20 new members joined). The Club's friendly matches with Norton Hall (then England's most northerly club) began the following
year.
In 1967 a number of Edinburgh members entered the All-England handicap
singles, which that year marked the centenary of the first croquet tournament, and it was Lt-Cdr R.D. Sinclair of the Edinburgh
Club who triumphed in the finals at Hurlingham and was presented with the trophy by Her Majesty the Queen.

| All action at the Edinburgh Tournament |
In 1969 and then from 1972 onwards the Club has run a week-long tournament
during the Edinburgh International Festival, initially at Dunfermline College in Cramond but since 1981 at Fettes College.
Previously indoor croquet sessions were held during the winter but the original venue for these, at Balgreen, became unavailable
in 2001, and an alternative venue in Portobello proved less convenient, so this facility ceased in 2004.
With around 60 members, Edinburgh is one of the largest clubs in Scotland.
Attendances on Saturday afternoons sometimes exceed 20, and smaller numbers
play at other times during the week. The annual coaching course for beginners continues to be popular and to attract new players
to the game.
There has always been a good proportion of members who prefer not to
be too competitive but who simply get a great deal of pleasure from playing their croquet in really magnificent surroundings,
with Lauriston Castle on one side and on the other an open vista to the
Forth and Fife. But over the years the Club has also helped develop many fine players.
The Club had been aware for some years of the need to improve its lawns
two of which were on a slope. Recent work has created two level full-size courts (the third remaining slightly narrow and
sloping).
