1924–25 Scottish Districts season

The 1924–25 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams.

History
The District and Trial fixtures for season 1924-25 were reported on 8 May 1924. It was noted that the Glasgow Trial match, between Blues and Whites, normally found in January, was dropped from the fixture list.

North of Scotland District used the Inverness-shire and Ross-shire versus Aberdeenshire match as a trial to determine their selection for the North side. Similarly the Midlands District used the Fifeshire versus Forfarshire match as a trial to determine their selection for the Midlands side.

Glasgow District beat Edinburgh District in the Inter-City match.

The Blues Trial versus Whites Trial match was originally planned to be a Scotland Probables versus Scotland Possibles match. However selection problems caused a number of big name players to miss out; and the match was then deemed a Blues versus Whites trial match instead. The trial match was a strange one; the Whites were winning 12 - nil at half time, scoring 4 unconverted tries in the process. Then the Whites centre pairing of Waddell and Nelson moved into the Blues side for the second half, with the Hawick pair of Bowie and Scott going in the opposite direction. Waddell and Nelson played the match superbly; and got the Blues going in the second half. At the end the Blues had scored 5 tries, with the Whites scoring a solitary try in response in the 2nd half. That made it 5 tries a piece. The Whites conversion misses in the first half came back to haunt the side - the Blues won the match by virtue of 3 conversions to the Whites only conversion scored in the second half.

At the Scotland Probables versus Scotland Possibles match two weeks later, there were a few call offs. D. Drysdale, A. J. Gracie and J. C. H. Ireland could not make the Probables; and G. G. Aitken and D. M. Bertram could not make the Possibles side. That meant that J. C. Dykes and N. Macpherson were promoted to the Probables from the Possibles; and J. Gray took Drysdale's full back slot.
