Your 2006 Lanark Highlanders - Division Champions!

Welcome to the Lanark Highlanders Rugby Football Club

History records Perth, Ontario, as a unique military settlement named after the town of Perth in Scotland. After the War of 1812, Perth was established in the spring of 1816 as part of a strategic defense plan against invasion from the south.

In honour of Perth’s Scottish military past we have named our rugby football club the Lanark Highlanders. We hope in some small way to continue Perth’s tradition of Gaelic warriors – Cha-Gheill*!
