David Chisholm

David Chisholm was a Scottish international rugby union player.^[1]

He was capped for Scotland fourteen times between 1964-68.^[1] He also played for Melrose RFC.^[1] He was commonly linked with Alex Hastie, according to Allan Massie:

"They played together for Melrose for eleven seasons, in the course of which Chisholm scored more than a thousand points for the club... As a pair their understanding made them more than the sum of two individuals. Did Hastie ever lose Chisholm in any of the thirteen internationals they played together? It was their joint ability to tidy up bad ball and even turn it to advantage that made them the most secure of partnerships. Both tackled better than many wing forwards, and they would have revelled in the modern game... Their record of going ten internationals without defeat is unparalleled."^[2]

His brother Robin Chisholm was also capped for Scotland.^[1]
