North of Scotland District (rugby union)

North of Scotland was a select provincial amateur rugby union team that drew its players mainly from north of Scotland, roughly corresponding from around Aberdeenshire west and northwards.

Confusingly the name North of Scotland was also used for a larger 'combined district' of the North of Scotland District and the Midlands District.

This lack of recognition for the Midlands District, when the 'North of Scotland' name was used for the combined side, was finally ended in 1978. After this the 'combined district' became known as North and Midlands, although the 'North and Midlands' name was used from 1954 in the Scottish Inter-District Championship.

The name of North of Scotland was then only used for the Aberdeenshire and Highland district.
