When I first added this photo to the web site, I captioned it:
'First
XV - 1958'
However, Liz Miller has now written to tell me: |
Moray House Secondary School
First XV
Around 1956-57
**
"I think this would have been taken earlier
than 1958, as I left school then and there are lads in the photo who were
at least a year above me. It was probably taken 1956 or 1957.
I have the names of some of the players. See
below."

Thank you to Colin Brough,
Edinburgh, who wrote, describing this photo as 1957-58. I've now
changed the caption for this photo to read 1957-58.

"I stumbled across the EdinPhoto site and
the photo above of Moray House rugby team. My dad (Murray Brough) is the
pupil on the far left in the middle row.
I now work at the Moray House school of
Education, in Edinburgh University and had an office just to the right
and upstairs from the door in this photo. The building is now called
Thomson’s Land and I smile every day that I walk through the columns,
knowing my Dad was there fifty years before.
Cravats
Can I just say, I think we lost something in
rugby, when cravats ceased to be worn." ***

Photos
Colin also sent me two more photos of the Moray House Rugby Teams:
- one probably for 1954-55.
- the other for 1956-57, with the players wearing their
cravats. I'd like to add
the 1956-57 photo to this page, but I've not yet found a way to do that.
