Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in the Scottish Borders has a long, and significant history. The region has been responsible for several major innovations, and a presence in the national game which is disproportionately large, due to the fact it is the one part of Scotland, where rugby is the main sport and played by all classes. For centuries Borderers had been playing various forms of folk football, that were extremely similar to rugby. Some of these are still played very occasionally, such as the game in Jedburgh. Undoubtedly their popularity paved the way for that of rugby. Ned Haig, for example played Fastern''s Eve Ba''. Throughout the mid to late 1870s, another almost parallel world of club rugby grew up in the Scottish Borders. This brand of rugby, imported from Yorkshire through the burgeoning woollen industry, was a world away from the refined old boy circuit of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Borders remains the only part of Scotland - outside the predominantly middle class atmosphere of the Edinburgh elite - where rugby really managed to take root in Scotland.
