EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Scottish International Rugby Football Team in 1895, as they prepared to take on their English counterparts in what was sure to be a fiercely contested match. The team, composed of some of the most renowned footballers of the era, includes Campbell, Neilson, M. Ewen, Dods, Scott, Smith, Neilson, M. Millan (Captain), Simpson, Cownie, Millar, Welsh, Gibson, Donaldson, and Gowans. The image, taken in the late Victorian era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, as the men don their heavy woolen jerseys and thick stockings, their determined expressions hinting at the physical demands and passion that came with the sport during this time. The team's captain, M. Millan, stands proudly in the center, his gaze fixed on the camera, a testament to the leadership and camaraderie that bound these men together as they represented their country on the rugby field. The 1890s were an exciting time for rugby football in Scotland, as the sport continued to gain popularity and the national team solidified its place among the best in Europe. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds Scottish rugby, and the unwavering dedication of the men who played the game during this period. From the rugged terrain of Scottish fields to the international stage, the passion for rugby football ran deep, and this team embodied the very essence of the sport. As we look at this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time, to an era when men came together not just to play a game, but to forge bonds that would last a lifetime.
