A recipient of the prestigious John Macphail Scholarship in 2011 after representing Scotland at numerous age-grade levels, Grant Stuart Gilchrist was rewarded for some excellent early club displays with Edinburgh Rugby by being selected for the 2013 Six Nations game against France in Paris aged 22.
That was the start of an international career now over a decade – and nearly 70 caps – old.
Such longevity has seen Grant feature at three Rugby World Cups (2015, 2019 and 2023) and now in the winter of his career, the redoubtable second row is on the cusp of becoming a double centurion for Edinburgh Rugby, his only professional club.
