David Miller Durie Rollo was a prop forward who played for Scotland. Unusually for a Scotland internationalist, he came from Fife.
As a prop, he could play both tight and loosehead:
Allan Massie includes Rollo in his All-Time XV's reserves, saying "Rollo's ability to play on either side of the scrum would make him a natural member of the squad".
Rollo went to Bell Baxter High School in Cupar, and continues to support their rugby team. However, while at school, he preferred football.
Bill McLaren witnessed Rollo's international debut, at the 1959 Calcutta Cup game
Rollo played for Howe of Fife R.F.C. until he was 40.
