History

It was founded in 1977 as a former pupils club, though it is now an open club.[1] A previous Carnoustie Dalhousie rugby club dates from 1932, having their first game on 6 February 1932, but it did not survive the Second World War.[2]

The club trains twice weekly at the Carnoustie High School.[3]

It uses the Kinloch Arms Hotel in Carnoustie as its clubhouse.[3]

The club finished top of the Midlands 2 league in the 2019–20 season, but there was no official champion due to the COVID-19 pandemic which curtailed the season. There were no fixtures in 2020–21 season for the club.[4]

The club president Colin Murray won the Scottish Rugby Union's Inspiration award for Caledonia Midlands in June 2021.[5]
