It was a 72-hole stroke-play event, played in Scotland.
David Huish won the event three times while Norman Wood, John Panton and Harry Bannerman each won in twice.
Finlay Morris, the inaugural winner, died, aged 22, in a car accident three months after the event.
From 1968 the Finlay Morris Memorial Trophy was awarded to leading player under the age of 25.
The 1969 event was reduced to 54 holes by bad weather.
