Ross High RFC, based in Tranent, was established in 1970 by former pupils of Ross High School eager to create a rugby club. The school's headmaster, Bill Monteith, served as the first president, laying the foundation for the club’s enduring legacy. Among its most influential figures, Scott Glynn, the longest-serving president, was recognized with an MBE for his charitable contributions before his passing on January 1, 2020.
The club’s journey is documented in the book Mon the Ross, which captures its evolution, challenges, and triumphs. A strong bond with Markham RFC in Wales has been a defining aspect of Ross High RFC, with annual friendly matches dating back to 1972. More than just a rugby team, the club serves as a vital community hub, offering touch rugby sessions, social gatherings, and various local initiatives that foster camaraderie and pride. With the dedication of past players and coaches, Ross High RFC continues to grow and thrive, building on its rich history.
