Winners play for: Miller Cup (since 1953). Named after the Edinburgh Lord Provost Sir James Miller.
Notes: Charity tournament, originally in aid of the Edinburgh Infirmary (from 1925). Charity donor changed to the Red Cross in 1940 and remained throughout the Second World War.

Tournament began in 1922.
