Murrayfield, home of Scottish rugby

Blipped Murrayfield rugby stadium on the way back home.

Murrayfield (home of Scottish Rugby Union) was opened on 21 March 1925. Previously internationals had been played at Inverleith (another suburb of Edinburgh). The first visitors were England, whom Scotland beat to win their first Five Nations Championship Grand Slam.

During the Second World War the ground at Murrayfield was offered to the nation and was taken over by the Royal Army Service Corps and used as a supply depot. During the war years the armed forces sports authorities managed to arrange two Scotland v. England services internationals each year, on a home-and-away basis. Scotland's home matches were played at Inverleith for the first two years with a return to Murrayfield in 1944 after that ground's derequisition.

In 1994 Murrayfield completed a 50 million pound renovation where floodlights were installed for the first time in its history.
