Leagues Not Part of The Scottish League Championship
Certain leagues are not included in the system:
- The Border League, a historic and now supplementary competition involving clubs competing in the Championship
- The Grampian Alliance League, independent of the Championship (involving some 2nd XVs)
- The Highland Alliance League, also independent of the Championship (involving some 2nd XVs)
In addition, competitive rugby at universities, and rugby for 2nd and 3rd XVs, is organised separately, and in the case of 2nd and 3rd XVs on something of an ad-hoc basis (there having been a number of splits from The Scottish 2nd XV League in recent years). Note that the larger universities run their first teams in both the Scottish Championship, and in the university leagues.
See University Leagues in Scotland and 2nd XV Leagues in Scotland for further details.

English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
