In Memory of David Milne, Former Chair of Edinburgh Leisure

Edinburgh Leisure was saddened to hear of the passing of David Milne, who served as Chair from 2015 to January 2021. We extend our deepest condolences to David’s family, friends, and former colleagues and teammates.

David was a passionate advocate for the transformative power of sport and physical activity. During his six-year tenure, he brought wisdom, warmth, and unwavering commitment to Edinburgh Leisure, helping steer the organisation through both exciting developments and unprecedented challenges, including COVID-19.

Reflecting on his time as Chair, David once said: “I have been honoured to have held the position of Chair of Edinburgh Leisure for the last six years. I have enjoyed meeting many members of staff, visiting venues, and seeing the positive impact Edinburgh Leisure has had on the health of so many people of all ages and stages.”

Jackie Moran, Vice-Chair of Edinburgh Leisure and who worked closely with David commented: “We are grateful for David’s leadership and legacy, and he will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of working with him.”
