Walter Hart (born 30 March 1935) is a Scottish former international rugby union player.
Born in Newtown St Boswells, Hart was a centre when he came to Melrose RFC in the mid-1950s, before being developed into a wing-forward. He made over 200 appearances for Melrose.[1]
Hart represented South of Scotland and twice attended Scottish trials prior to getting a national call up in 1960, for a short tour of South Africa. His opportunity arose when Ken Smith was forced to pull out due to business commitments.[2] He gained his solitary Scotland cap in the one-off Test against the Springboks at Port Elizabeth.[3]
