Robert Greig (30 May 1871 – 10 January 1951) was a Scotland international rugby union player.[1]
Greig was born in 1871. His elder sister was Agnes Ethel Greig. She died in 1902 and it was only later that he discovered that he had three nieces, Agnes, Elspeth and Ethel Robertson, after his late sister's son contacted him. His nieces would go on to control a large whisky business.[2]
