History

The club was founded in 1970. The club, as its name suggests, grew out of the desire of the former pupils of Ross High School in Tranent to form a rugby union club. The first President of the club Bill Monteith was headmaster of the High School.[1]

The club's longest serving president was Scott Glynn, who was given a MBE for his charity work. Glynn died on 1 January 2020.[2]

A book was released Mon the Ross detailing the history of the club.[3]

Ross High RFC has a long-standing partnership with Welsh rugby union club Markham RFC near Caerphilly.[4]

Sides

The club runs senior and under 18s training on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7pm to 8.30pm. It is noted as for 'boys and girls from 8 to 80'.[5]
