#OnThisDay 100 years ago, just 2 months after the end of the First World War, tragedy struck when Iolaire capsized off the shores of Stornoway taking the lives of over 200 men. This New Year's Day we remember all those affected by this tragic event. #LestWeForget #Iolaire

Well done to the 1XV who regained the Sesquicentenary Trophy after an excellent match against @edinburghacad. It was an honour to have the trophy presented by Jack Dun, our Captain of Rugby in 1943/44. #oldboys #readyayready @MerchistonianFC @Merchistonian
