Fifty years at Millbank for Caithness RFC

An Edinburgh select travelled to Thurso to take on the Greens in their debut at their new home.

Over 400 fans went to watch the game where rugby was still a relative new sport in the county.

Before kick-off the teams were introduced to Provost Isabella Cormack who declared the new pitch open.

Despite a valiant performance against some of the top players from Edinburgh's biggest clubs, Caithness lost the match 18-8.

A cocktail party was held afterwards at the Pentland Hotel.

Can you recognise some of these names?

Caithness: J Dunnett, D Lyall, J Fuery, R Hill, M Evans, W Murray, M Mackay, D Armstrong, W Dorratt, J G Dunnett, B Blues, F Scutt, P Blackwood, I Miller, R Jolly.
