The Fraserburgh Herald and Northern Counties' Advertiser of Tuesday 21 October 1902 records the columnist delighted that the club has been formed:[2] I was pleased to hear that the Rugby Club which was hinted at in this column last week bad been so successfully formed and that my note was the means of awakening our friends round the corner.

At Peterhead as well as Fraserburgh Rugby clubs have now been organised and before very long I hope we may have the pleasure of seeing the two meet.

He was to state:[5] The original idea was to provide playing opportunities for youngsters, the formation of a senior club came a little later, but we soon saw the potential of a league team after a number of players came forward.

We briefly toyed with the idea of linking up with nearby Peterhead who were formed in 1984, but the very notion of having a liaison with a town who are traditionally deadly rivals of Fraserburgh was deemed a no go area for us.

In fairness, we have rubbed along rather well with them, though the games against them are pretty fierce affairs.
