Scotsman Trophy-Scottish Schools' Championship - Alan McGowan - 11-07-2023

Can anyone enlighten me about the Scotsman Trophy for the Scottish Schools' Team Championship?

The competition began in 1967 and the early winners were:-
1967-68 Boroughmuir
1968-69 Allan Glen's
1969-70 Boroughmuir
1970-71 ?
1971-72 Ayr Academy
1972-73 Ayr Academy
1973-74 Madras College

Can anyone add the names and years of other winners? Did the competition fold?

I note a 2016 comment in the Forum by Mike Scott that he thought the trophy might be at James Gillespie's High School, which suggests that things had come to a halt. It looks like Andy Muir was involved in a restarted competition.

Thanks for any help.

From memory, Stephen Taylor was the organiser for a period.

Many thanks, Andy. Apologies for the belated reply.
