Tartan Touch
What is Tartan Touch?
Tartan Touch is Scottish Rugby’s Fun, Simple and Social version of non-contact rugby. It’s a game for all abilities and all ages played throughout the Summer months. In the past two seasons, hubs have welcomed players aged 5 to 75 years old from having never played rugby to retired players!

This year the 2019 Tartan Touch season ran from May until July at 45 hubs across Scotland. Look out for Tartan Touch returning to a club near you next season!
