William Forsyth (rugby union)
William Forsyth was a rugby union international who represented Scotland in the first international rugby match in 1871.〔
==Early life==
William Forsyth was born on 23 March 1850 in Logie Easter, Rossshire. He was the son of John Forsyth (died 1898) and Ann (née Bell) (died 1857). John, at the time, was a farmer on the Balnagowan estate, the seat of Sir Charles Ross and site of Balnagowan castle. Later, in the 1860s, John Forsyth would become the factor of the whole estate, some 300,000 acres, of which about 8000 acres were arable, 400 acres under wood, and 288,000 acres under pasture.〔(''Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland: On the Agriculture of the Counties of Ross and Cromarty'', by James Macdonald, Special Reporter for the Scotsman, Aberdeen. )〕 William’s mother died in 1857 when he was just seven years old and his aunt moved in, helping to look after William and his siblings. John would later remarry. In around 1869, William began attending Edinburgh University. He was noted in the 1869 Edinburgh calendar (as William Forsyth of Rossshire) for earning a certificate of merit〔The Edinburgh University Calendar 1869-70, 1869.〕 and later was cited as William Forsyth of Balnagowan.〔THE EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 1871-72, EDWARD RAVENSCROFT, 1871〕
