The Scottish rugby union team dates back to 1871 when they played their first game – a 1-0 victory over England at Raeburn Place.
Since then there have been hundreds of games in the Five and Six Nations (winning 14 titles including three Grand Slams), Rugby World Cup (where they made the semi-finals in 1991) tours, friendlies and autumn internationals.
Here are the 10 players who have scored most tries for Scotland in that time – as of September 2023.

Two players tie for the title of Scotland's second most prolific scorer of tries. The first is winger Ian Smith who ran over the line 24 times in just 32 matches from 1924–1933. Photo: National World

4. Darcy Graham
Darcy Graham has steadily climbed the rankings of Scotland's top try scorers since his debut in 2018. The winger's 24 tries to date have come in just 39 matches. He'll be hoping to add to that tally at this year's Six Nations. Photo: Mark Runnacles
