Boroughmuir RFC is a rugby union football club in the Scottish Rugby Union. Founded in 1919 and admitted to the SRU in 1939, it was originally restricted to former pupils of Boroughmuir High School. The badge is derived from Boroughmuir High School and they acquired it in 1913. Although it has lost that direct connection, the home ground and navyblue/emerald colours are unchanged. The jersey pattern was changed to distinguish the modern club from the school, which continues to use the traditional single emerald hoop pattern. The club's home ground is Meggetland, in southwest Edinburgh and the club plays in the Scottish Premiership. The club won the Scottish unofficial club rugby championship in the 1954-55 and 1972-73 seasons. Recent honours include Premiership champions in 1990-1991,2002-2003 and 2007–2008, cup winners in 2000, 2001,2005 (making history by becoming the first team to win the trophy 'back to back', and then the first team to win it three times)and 2015. Melrose Sevens winners in 1963, 1975 & 2002. The club's ground (Meggetland) has recently undergone major development to turn it into one of the premier facilities in Scottish rugby. A new stand and clubhouse were built, along with new pitches for the 2nd and 3rd XV, an international standard all-weather hockey pitch and five-a-side football pitches. ==See also== Famous players associated with Boroughmuir RFC: *Kenny Ross, the first capped Boroughmuir player, 10 Scottish caps 1961-63 *Sean Lineen,Scotland International the original kilted Kiwi and former Boroughmuir coach.Current Scotalnd U-21 Coach *Iain Paxton, British Lions Scotland & Barbarians forward and former Boroughmuir,Edinburgh & Scotland U-21 coach *Derek Stark, Scotland winger *Mike Blair, British Lions and Scotland scrum halfScot *Chris Cusiter, British Lions and Scotland scrum half *Tom Palmer,England lock *Peter Wright, British Lions and Scotland prop current Selkirk coach & BBC Radio pundit *Bruce Hay, British Lions, Scotland & Barbarians Full Back & Wing, former Head Coach & Director of Rugby *Alasdair Strokosch, Scotland flanker *Norrie Rowan, Scotland & Barbarians Prop member of 1984 Grand Slam squad * Bill Watson, Scotland & Barbarians No8, Former SRU Chief Executive and Current Boroughmuir Vice Chairman * Stuart Reid, Scotland No 8 and former forwards coach also played at Leeds & Narbonne * Dave Callam, Scotland No 8 and flanker * Graham Hogg, Scotland Centre and former coach * Graham Beveridge, Scotland Scrum Half * Jim Fleming, International Referee and current IRB Board member * Henry Edwards, flanker, former SRU Head of Coach Development * Chris Tregaskis, New Zealand Second Row * Ronnie Browne, former winger and member of folk duo The Corries * Damien Hoyland, Scotland International & Scotland 7's * Sep Visser, Wing Dutch International Brother of Scotland International Tim The club currently has an excellent set of coaching staff and a very talented set of players.
