Scotland great Hugh McLeod has died aged 81.
The prop forward won 40 Scotland caps, a considerable number for the time, from 1954-1962 and was twice a tourist with the British and Irish Lions, being selected for the 1955 trip to South Africa and playing in all six Tests for the combined side in New Zealand and Australia four years later.
McLeod's achievements were all the more remarkable as he did not start playing rugby union until the age of 16.
Having made his name as a player at the celebrated Hawick club, he later helped guide the Borders side to the first five official Scottish Championship titles in the 1970s and last year he was inducted into Scottish rugby's Hall of Fame.
