The 1907–08 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams.
History
Glasgow District and Edinburgh District drew nil-nil in the Inter-City match for the second year in a row.{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NM5AAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UKYMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6360,4045234|title=The Glasgow Herald - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com}}
The SRU founded a new match this year. Instead of the Anglo-Scots playing South of Scotland, the Anglo-Scots were to play against a 'Provinces' District. To represent the Provinces, players were selected from clubs outwith Glasgow and Edinburgh. As such they were deemed provincial. The Provinces District was the counterpart to the very occasional Glasgow-Edinburgh (or 'Cities') representative side.{{Cite web|url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000893/19071223/145/0007|url-access=subscription|title=|via=British Newspaper Archive}}
