Adam Kelso Fulton (10 April 1929 – 27 August 1994) was a Scottish rugby union internationalist. Positioned as scrum-half,[1] he was capped twice playing both games against France at Murrayfield in 1952[2] and 1954.[1][3][4] His association with the sport started at school, Dollar Academy,[1] where he was also a Scottish Schools' internationalist,[5] and continued with a number of teams including Edinburgh University,[1] Leamington RFC[6] and The Army.[7]

He worked at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh in the years he played for Scotland. Nurses remember him drying his kit in the scullary attached to the ward.
