About Jock Wemyss
- Andrew "Jock" Wemyss (pronounced "Weemz") (22 May 1893, Galashiels – 21 January 1974, Edinburgh) was a Scottish rugby union player, who played at prop.
- Wemyss lost one of his eyes in World War I, but continued to play after the war (games were suspended during the conflict). Wemyss, together with George St Claire Murray, a rugby enthusiast from the Watsonians club, founded the Co-Optimists invitational rugby club in 1924.
- This came after an invitation game against Haddington a Club Wemyss had been a founder member of at the age of 17. Wemyss went on to be successful journalist and commentator, and on the occasion of Haddington's 90th anniversary the Club received a letter from the Bill McLaren stating how much he owed Jock for early tutelage.
