Hollie Davidson

Chosen object: first whistle

Hollie is Scottish Rugby’s first contracted female referee. She had played for Scotland U20 but after a shoulder injury, she hung up her playing boots and picked up the whistle instead.

After graduating from the University of Edinburgh in 2014 in Economic History, Hollie worked in finance for two years and credits her former colleagues with supporting her move to refereeing full time.

She has since refereed in a number of major tournaments including the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Rugby World Cup Sevens, and the 2019 Women’s Six Nations Championship.
