He was part of the Glasgow District side that won the Inter-City match against Edinburgh in 1947–48.[2] He later won three Inter-City matches in a row with Glasgow in 1950–51,[2] 1951–52[3] and 1952–53.[4]
He was capped for Scotland three times from 1951 to 1954, playing in three Five Nations matches. He was capped initially at Wing for his debut but was later capped at Centre.[7]
His 1951 debut was bittersweet. Scotland narrowly lost against France but Cameron proudly returned to his home with the match ball. He opened the front door and threw the ball inside then discovered from his crestfallen mother and sister that his father had died just hours before.[8]
Selector
After his playing career finished, Cameron became a selector for the Glasgow District committee.[8]
Outside of rugby
Cameron was a company director with Robin Ramsay & Co, a hide and skin brokers.[9][8]
He was a keen golfer and angler. He would often go fishing with Iain Ross, former Hillhead HSFP and Scotland scrum-half.[8]
