Peter Brown (born December 16, 1941) played number 8 and lock for West of Scotland R.F.C. and Gala R.F.C., and captained Scotland 10 times in his 27 internationals (1964-73).
Peter is an independent member of Scottish Rugby's appeals panel and acts as a match and discipline commissioner for both the RBS Six Nations and the Heineken European Cup. He is the elder brother of the late Gordon Brown.
He was dubbed "the man on the coathanger" in his playing days because of his unusual gait. He kicked a few goals which was unusual for a forward, and his kicking style was ungainly if effective.
Peter Brown was chairman of the Scottish Building Society from 1993–2003 and remains a non-executive director. Since 1975 he has been senior partner in Hogg Thorburn, chartered accountants, in Galashiels and is a non-executive director with Edinburgh Risk Management (General) Limited, insurance brokers.
