The Royal High Rugby club’s origins are to be found in the Royal High School which means they are covered by the mists of time. There is some evidence, supplied by a famous academical sportsman, that there was a carrier game played in the school about 1810. This even provides a link with Sir Walter Scott. The original laws of Rugby Football were brought to the school in 1856 by an English public school boy. Royal High were one of the founding members of the Scottish Football Union with was later renamed as the SRU.
