Cricket has been played in Scotland for a very long time and, contrary to popular belief, is enjoyed by many Scots. I came across these two photographs in Campbeltown Library in 1992. They show a cricket match, probably in the town, possibly in the late 1860s.

I support Scotland whenever possible. Here is the official Website for Scottish cricket. Below is a possible relative of mine, Greig Williamson, batting for Scotland against Surrey (C&G Trophy, 3rd Round) at the Grange, Edinburgh on May 30th 2002:

And one of the great spin bowler, Saqlain Mushtaq, bowling for Surrey in the same match.
