Career
Fraser Brown has represented Scotland at many levels.[2] He captained his schools side, Merchiston Castle School, in 2006 before debuting for the Scotland Under 18s in 2007. In 2008, he was selected for the Scotland under 20s squad for the 2008 Under 20's Six Nations, playing all five rounds. He was announced as captain for the 2009 season, and led the Scots to an 18-17 victory over Wales in the opening round of the 2009 Under 20's Six Nations.[3] He continued as captain going into the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship leading the side the ninth.
In 2010, he was selected to play for Edinburgh in the 2010–11 Celtic League, but failed to earn a cap. Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend recruited Brown in 2013 following injuries in the squad.[4] He made his debut against Italian side Zebre.
During Scotland's participation in the South African Quadrangular Series in 2013, Brown earned a late call up to the squad following an injury to fellow club player Pat MacArthur. He was a replacement for the test against South Africa,[5] but failed to come off the bench during the match.[6] However, Brown came off the bench the week after to earn his first cap against Italy.
