Professional Outfits
With the advent of professionalism in 1995 the Scottish Rugby Union decided that existing club sides would be unable to compete with their wealthier English and French counterparts in new cross-border tournaments such as the European Cup and Celtic League. It was decided that new clubs would be created based on the countries four geographical districts:
| Club | Representing District | Home Base | Professionally Active |
|---|---|---|---|
| Border Reivers | Scottish Borders | Galashields | 1995 - 1998 and 2002 - 2007 |
| Caledonia Reds | North and Midleands | Aberdeen and Perth | 1995 - 1998 |
| Edinburgh Gunners | Edinburgh and Lothians | Edinburgh | 1995 - Present |
| Glasgow Warriors | West of Scotland | Glasgow | 1995 - Present |
