It was founded from at least 1925, the club playing Kirkcaldy 2nd XV on 13 March 1926 in the Fife side's 1925 fixture list.
George Russell was a stalwart of the rugby side (and ultimately became its president for many years); and he later went on to represent Edinburgh District, and join the Scottish Rugby Union committee. Russell died in 2020.[1]
The club had to get re-founded after the second world war and some histories take the 1946 re-founding date as the new date.[2]
The club dropped its Former Pupils tag when the School closed in the 1950s. However the School survived in one form or another by linking with various educational establishments:- Dunfermline College, then Heriot-Watt University, and presently the University of Edinburgh.
However through all the moves the club lost its Prestonfield home, and they now play in the Jack Kane Centre at Niddrie.[2]
