The playing strip has been blue shirts with a red Lion, white shorts and red Socks for more than 130 years. Since the club was formed it has produced in the region of 220 Scottish Internationals and four Lions captains. In 1987 the national league structure was formed and in 1996 the game turned professional. A promising start to the professional era unfortunately ended in insolvency so the original amateur club rejoined the leagues but was effectively demoted 9 leagues by the RFU. Subsequently the club has gained 6 promotions in 9 years and now plays in National League 1 where it anticipates enjoying another very successful season.
