In 1983, he became president of the Dollar Academicals, and since 1995, the Kelso Fulton Cup is awarded to the winner of an annual fixture held between the Accies and Edinburgh Borders RFC.

In 1956, he was recalled[37][38] to the Royal Army Medical Corps for Operation Musketeer (Suez) and served with the 4th Field Dressing Station,[39] which was established at the Ophthalmic Hospital, Port Said, Egypt.

Appointments included, Aberfeldy, then Audley – where, on 21 July 1963, he was selected county Divisional Surgeon to the St John Ambulance Brigade – and finally, from 1967 onwards, Kinross.

Fulton was an individual “who maintained the highest ideals of fellowship and service”,[42] and one who also held a deep rooted “desire to encourage achievement at all levels”.
