Alastair McHarg was an extremely athletic lock (second row forward) for the Scotland national rugby union team, 1968-79. He won 44 caps for Scotland, and was unlucky not to become a British Lion. He frequently partnered Gordon Brown in the Scottish second row.

He played for West of Scotland R.F.C. and London Scottish. He is now (2005) Director of Rugby at Reading RFC.
