They play their rugby at Cavalry Park in the shadow of Arthur's Seat The club was reformed in 1954 and enjoyed fixtures against the elite of the established "circuit".
Rather bizarrely the event that acted as a catalyst for improvement was a fire which decimated the clubhouse in May of that year.
This unfortunate inferno brought friends, members and players (current and past) together to rebuild the club physically and metaphorically.
The subsequent season saw a significant upturn in the playing fortunes with 1st and 2nd XV both turning in more than respectable performances.
The icing on the cake was a glorious cup run culminating in an appearance in the National Plate final at Murrayfield on 3 May 2008.
