Ken Scotland Has Died

It is with great sadness that we relay the news of the death of Ken Scotland.

Born in 1936 Ken began his rugby journey at George Heriot’s School and, in addition to Heriot’s Rugby Club, also played rugby for Cambridge University and the Army.  Ken was capped 27 times by Scotland and toured with the British & Irish Lions to New Zealand in 1959.

Ken was a regular attendee at Goldenacre on Saturday afternoons continuing to support his club team until prevented by his recent ill health.  He was not only a great rugby player but a true gentleman who was known and loved by so many and will be truly missed by us all.

We will be organising a tribute fitting for a true great of Heriot’s and Scottish rugby, the details of which will be updated here as soon as we have them.

For now our thoughts are with Ken’s wife Doreen and the rest of his family at this very sad time.
