Words from Scottsh Rugby

In Scottish rugby folklore, David was a pivotal member of the three bears.

Alongside his brothers, Iain (older) and Kenny (younger), he was on the left of a truly formidable front-row that will forever be part of the rich history of Heriot’s rugby club.

David Ferguson Milne was born in Edinburgh on 7 December 1958.

Educated at George Heriot’s School he went on to play his adult rugby at Goldenacre and earned rave reviews in Douglas Middleton’s Centenary History of Heriot’s – though initially on the right-hand side of the scrum, given fellow Scotland prop Jim Burnett, had worn the number one jersey during Heriot’s championship winning season in 1978-79.

Our condolences to David's family.
