Rare 1914 Scotland Rugby XV Photograph: v England played at Inverleith on 21st March 1914, their last international match before the outbreak of World War 1.

England won 16-15. Fine large shot mounted 16.5" x 17", sides roughly trimmed, can be neatly improved; photograph by Alex Ayton of 42 and 43 Bruntsfield, Edinburgh. Lovely historic image & item
