History

Until 2011, the division was the sixth tier of amateur club rugby in Scotland. For season 2011-12, league reconstruction reduced the number of nationwide leagues from six to two and the division ceased to exist. However further changes in 2014-15 increased the amount of nationwide leagues to four, and with it the National League Division Three name returned.

The top two teams are promoted to National League Division Two and the bottom three teams relegated to the appropriate Regional League - Caledonia, East or West - depending on their geographic location.
