[3] The selection of players to the District sides were open to any nationality; albeit the sides were viewed as a stepping stone to the international team.
[4] Whittington's time in Scotland being schooled; his remaining residence in Scotland to play for the Former Pupil side; and his performances in the Inter-City matches against Glasgow District; offered Whittington a gateway for selection for Scotland.
His international debut was the home match on 3 March 1873 at Glasgow.
His son Tom Whittington played cricket for Glamorgan.
