Added citation re. quote taken from the BBC website: "Comparing his best performances long before the Athens Olympics of 1896 leads one to imagine him capable of winning seven gold, a silver, and a bronze medal". The BBC page (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/sportscotland/asportingnation/article/0015/) says "This page was last updated in December 2005", which appears to pre-date the addition of this line to Wikipedia, so have quoted the BBC line and cited it as the source.Australia1788 (talk) 20:56, 21 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not sure how you edit this site. however, James fleming won the championship in 1870. Was the only man to break Dinnie's winning streak as the Scottish champion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.6.223.18 (talk) 03:29, 18 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

My great Grandfather, Currie the Clugger (clog maker) also beat Donald Dinnie, 3 times in fact, and after that Mr Dinnie refused to fight him.
