International career

from 1911 to 1912. From ''The Scottish Referee'' of 26 February 1912:

We have every reason to expect that Ogilvy will be retained as Scotland's back in the game with England three weeks hence. Although perhaps not quite so brilliant. as when he played at Twickenham last season, Ogilvy nevertheless gave a good display against Ireland, and while his kicking was not all that could have been desired, his following up and tackling could not have been improved upon. Possessed of good pace. Ogilvy must always prove a sound investment for the full back position so long as he keeps well.

Business career

His father Charles Ogilvy from Kirriemuir took over the business Lugton and Porteous, a drapery, tailor and dressmaking business. Charles Ogilvy died in October 1913 and Carl then had to suspend his playing career in December 1913 to take over the business.
