SCOTTISH CRICKET

Bonnie Prince Charlie did not have his troubles to seek during the Jacobite rising in 1745. His rebellious activities eventually led to him fleeing the country for France. Little would he have realised that one of the unlikely results of his actions led to the game of cricket being introduced to Scotland. English soldiers garrisoned north of the border following the rising began playing the game and schooled the locals in its rules of play.
 
The Borders garrison town of Kelso can boast the oldest organised cricket club with records dating back to 1820. The first recorded match in Scotland was played in September 1785. Immigrant English workers were thereafter credited with the spread of the game.
 
Scotland have been involved in representative matches since 1865 and in modern times play, by invitation, in England's Benson & Hedges Cup and the NatWest Trophy one-day competitions. A Scottish team also participates in the European Championships. A touring side has visited South Africa and Zimbabwe. They have also been hosts to visiting sides from West Indies, Pakistan and Australia.
 
The Scottish Cricket Union was founded in 1908 and is the sports governing body in Scotland. They look after the game from grass roots level to the running of the national side and are responsible for the development and promotion of the game throughout the country. There are over 200 cricket clubs in Scotland and despite the sometimes inclement weather, most of them manage to play on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the season, which runs from mid - April to early September.
