Many years ago, a group of players were chosen
to form an elite team. They had no ground, clubhouse or subscription and
membership was by invitation only. In essence, they represented a glorious
concept brought to life by the vision and enthusiasm of one man, William
Percy Carpmael. Inspired by his personal playing experiences
with both Blackheath and Cambridge University, his dream was to spread good
fellowship amongst all rugby football players. The dream became
reality on December 27th 1890 at Friary Field, Hartlepool.
There, all things great about the game - flair, courage, spirit and passion
- were encapsulated in one great team - a team they called the Barbarians.
A History of the Barbarians is to be found at
www.thebarbarians.co.uk
The following RHSFP RFC players had the honour
to represent the Barbarians.

The
Co-optimists rugby club are similar in nature to the Barbarians, but are largely
drawn from Scottish Clubs. The current Hon. Secy. is Ian Leslie, and
past secretaries have included Ken
McCauley, of Hawick and International refereeing fame, and our very own Charlie
Bryden. In one of their recent match
(30th December 2007) against Accies (to help Accies 150th birthday) they had
intended to field a trial side for the upcoming Club international
games, and although that did not come to pass it indicates the significance
attached to this Club. Photographs of the 2009 Quinquennial
can be viewed
here.

International trials, in various combinations including Blues versus Whites,
were used by the Scottish Rugby Union to determine selection for the
International team. There was normally a first and
final trial, with the teams frequently changing some personnel at half-time.
This list shows both trials combined into one list, i.e. players shown did
not necessarily play in both trials. The total number of
Club representatives was 58, the greatest number of appearances being
Pringle Fisher with 12 followed by Mark Morrison with 9
Note that the Club had one or more trialists in virtually all years from
1873 until 1968. Trials were stopped shortly before the
emergence of the professional game in the mid 1990's. |

Inter-City matches
between Edinburgh and Glasgow were held from 1872-73 season until the match
was taken over by the professional teams. Mark Morrison
had most appearances with 8, followed by P.W. Tait with 7, and J.P. Fisher
and T.P.L. McGlashan with 5 apiece. It is believed that
the records from 1950 onwards are not complete and further information is
required. |

This list takes precedence over 'Leading Points Scorers' in homage and
deference to Curly Bill Mitchell for whom the try was the apogee of the game
of Rugby. Note that R.G. (Gerry) McCosh dominates
this list with 95, the only challengers in recent years being M.R.
Whiteside and R.L. Guilianotti with 77 and 76 respectively.
It is likely that the individual annual record is held by R.S. Paterson who
scored 19 tries in the 1912-13 season, including 8 in the game against
Clydesdale. |

Jim Lacey led this category for many
years, as had F. Walkingshaw and G.A. McLaren before him.
Andy Middlemiss passed Jim's total in his last year in the XV.
The individual annual scoring record has yet to established, although Jim
Lacey's 136 points in 1962-63 will be top if not near. That
total comprised 12 tries, 26 conversions and 16 penalties, and tries were
worth 3 points in those days. |

P.W. Tait led this category for a number
of years from 1942 when he retired. He was followed
by Jimmy Dignall, then three players on the 325 mark before B.J. Scott
easily overtook their haul with an unassailable 411, passing 400 on 9th
March 2002. A special and coveted tie can be worn by all
players who attained 100 caps, which number 109 in total.
Only 8 players achieved 300 caps, with a further 22 achieving 200. |

During the history of the club 10 former Royal High players
have been elected to the office of President of the Scottish Rugby Union
1879-80 A. Buchanan
1881-82 A.G. Petrie
1885-86 N.T. Brewis
1899-00 I .Mc Intyre

It is intended to include shortened minutes of the A.G.M. of the
S.R.U. chaired by the above Presidents. They will give a flavour of how the Game
evolved in Scotland and an insight into the conservatism of the S.R.U. which
has continued into the professional era.

No Club exists without an efficient
Committee and elected principals, and the Club has had this format since
1867. The lists shown here are extracted from the Centenary
handbook for the years from 1867 until 1968, and constructed thereafter. |

| 1867 to 1898 spanned Buchanan,
Nat Watt and the first Captaincy of Mark Morrison |
|
1898 to 1938 was the era of
Mark Morrison, G.A. McLaren and W.D. Emslie |

While the term Honorary Member does not exist, it was
agreed at the 1957 A.G.M. to create a new position of Honorary
Vice-President which would be awarded to Club members would had give a great
deal of time in the service of the Club. The following list in the in main
past Presidents, but George Neilson also made the list.
Presumably Internationalists and other key individuals will be added in due
course.

This category includes an introduction, a full record of the players in each
of the winning sevens and beaten finalists, and a collection of
photographs.
The Club was among the first of the City clubs to support the Border Sports,
but in the beginning the members joined with other City players to make up
teams such as the Athenians, Edinburgh Rangers, and, on one occasion, Jedforest B.
However, the financial background of these sports and the fact that
'members' of Union clubs were accepting sums for travelling expenses to
compete for prizes disbursed by the SRU, so in 1904 it was unanimously
resolved that in future such contests be held under the jurisdiction of the
Union. In 1906 it was decreed that teams taking part
must be entered by their Club Secretary, and by authority of their Club
Committee no prizes apart from medals or badges could be received.
The Club's first appearance under its own name was at the 1906 Melrose
Sports where they lost to Melrose B in their first tie. The
following year the reached the second round at Hawick Sports and then beat
Gala in the final at Jedforest with a seven which included two outsiders.
Halcyon periods existed, notably 1947 to 1949 when two tournaments were won, 1960 to 1962 when the Club contested six
finals, winning three. Eric Ireland dominated the appearances
list during these three years with all six, while Pringle Fisher was a close
second with five. Another outstanding period was
1969 to 1971 when three trophies were secured, the common
factor on this occasion being Bruce Laidlaw.
A notable scalp in a non-winning year was that of the
Barbarians in 1983 at the Melrose Centenary 7's . |
