Case Study

We have been fortunate to work with our near-neighbours Morpeth RFC on a number of age-grade tours for well over a decade & always look forward to themtouring.

In 2025, the Northumbrian club took their U14 XV across the Border to Edinburgh. 

The team played Linlithgow RFC on the spectacular Indoor Rugby Field at Oriam (the training base for Scottish Rugby), before taking on Edinburgh BATs at Raeburn Place, the historic venue of the first Rugby International (Scotland Vs England in 1871), providing the visitors with an experience of the future & tradition of Scottish Rugby. 

Off the field, the ever-popular Highland Games Activity & obligatory sightseeing in the beautiful city completed the tour.

St Paul Rugby Club from Minnesota travelled to Scotland in March 2025 as part of their 50th Anniversary Celebrations. The tour started with a bang as the visitors joined RC Neuilly (FRA) at Edinburgh Academical FC for a round-robin, before heading to Murrayfield Stadium to see Scotland Vs Wales in the Six Nations. 

'Accies' is our home from home in Edinburgh. This most historic of clubs has hosted scores of touring sides over the years, be it for games, a training session, a coaching clinic with a star from Scottish Rugby or just a team dinner in their amazing clubhouse. 

Before the team headed to Melrose, we arranged a Pub Crawl with two Scottish International players - a unique opportunity to delve into the goings-on of the previous days Six Nations game. 

Once at Melrose, a beautiful town in the Scottish Borders, the team underwent a Home of Sevens experience at the famous Greenyards. Melrose RFC hosted a Tour Match and 50th Anniversary Dinner in honour of the Guests, with full Scottish Splendour and Hospitality on Show. Haggis, Bagpipes, Whisky, the lot. 

Last stop was Glasgow. The Pigs embarked on our #1 activity just about anywhere in the UK is the Speedboat Pub Crawl on Loch Lomond. This was followed up with a Tour & Tasting session at Glengoyne Whisky Distillery before an evening of comaraderie in Glasgow. Our friends at Cartha Queens Park RFC wrapped up the on-field action before the visitors headed back to the USA.

Following their inaugural Tour to Ireland in December 2022, The Australian Raptors Rugby Academy have become a force of nature in terms of Rugby Development in their region & their unrivalled Touring Traditions. This incredible programme exists to Create Better Human Beings through Rugby. Their expectation is to connect with established Sporting & Educational establishments at-location to open the doors of opportunity for their players in later life. 

Since that inaugural tour, we have been priviliged to work with them on two follow up tours to Ireland which have since spanned the Irish Sea to take in Scotland and England. We've also worked with them on two hugely successful Californian Tours and delivered a Tour to Spain for their U16 Girls XV in 2023. 

One of the great joys we experience as our role as Tour Operator is the ability to provide connections & bring together people from across the world to celebrate a shared passion for Rugby.

Following the Tours to California, the Raptors have subsequently hosted our long-time clients from Long Beach State University in Sydney & Wollongong as well as the Academy Team from the Major League Rugby team San Diego Legion. 

The partnership we have developed has provided great mutual opportunity for new experiences, new opportunities and new friends.

Case Study

Holy Trinity Catholic High School from Brantford, Ontario departed Canada at the start of their spring season for a tour into Scotland.

The Tour started with tickets to Scotland Vs Wales at Murrayfield in the Six Nations. Whether you're a seasoned match-goer or a first timer, there is nothing like hearing the Lone Piper on the Murrayfield Roof playing Flower of Scotland before the stadium erupts. 

Game one was at Goldenacre, the famous home of Heriots Rugby Club in Edinburgh. The team also played at the beautiful Oban Lorne RFC and the famous Strathallen School. 

The team had a coaching clinic with Hamish Watson at Edinburgh Accies, partook in Team Building Activities in the Scottish Highlands & spent time in Oban and Stirling before returning home. 

We were delighted with the Tour, both on and off the field.
