EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the thrilling atmosphere of a Rugby International match between Scotland and France in 1923 comes to life. The image captures the intensity and passion of the game as Scotland's Thistle team triumphs over France's Gallic Cock squad with a score of 16-3. The match took place at Inverleith, a picturesque sports ground nestled near the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital city. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were an era of great cultural and social change. This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of rugby as a sport and the fierce rivalry between Scotland and France. The players, dressed in their respective team colors, are seen locked in a tense scrum, their determined expressions etched on their faces. The crowd, a sea of hats and coats, is shown in the background, their cheers and chants adding to the electrifying energy of the moment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the simple joy of a sporting contest could bring people together, transcending borders and differences. The Thistle's victory over the Gallic Cock that day at Inverleith was not just a win on the field, but a symbol of Scottish pride and resilience. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, capturing the essence of a time when rugby was more than just a game, it was a passion that united a nation.
