History
The club was founded in 1970. The club, as its name suggests, grew out of the desire of the former pupils of Ross High School in Tranent to form a rugby union club. The first President of the club Bill Monteith was headmaster of the High School.[1]
The club's longest serving president was Scott Glynn, who was given a MBE for his charity work. Glynn died on 1 January 2020.[2]
A book was released Mon the Ross detailing the history of the club.[3]
Ross High RFC has a long-standing partnership with Welsh rugby union club Markham RFC near Caerphilly.[4]
