History
The club was founded in 1978, by a nurse manager, Dougie Cruickshanks, who worked in the Craig Dunain Hospital. The name of the club is taken from the former hospital's name. The club used to play in the grounds of the hospital.
After a few successful seasons in the Highland District League the club folded in 1983, only to be re-surrected in 1987 after a Sevens tournament, as The Highlanders.
The women's side began in 1993.
The name of the club was changed to Inverness Craig Dunain in 2004.
The hospital closed in 2000, but the rugby club thought it was appropriate to keep the name. The club played at Inverness High School until 2022.
Sides
The club runs a men's and women's side. Both train on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7pm at Merkinch Ferry Point.
Sevens tournament
The club runs the Inverness Craig Dunain Sevens. They compete for the Alex Wells trophy.
