The most famous rugby bar in Murrayfield is the Walldug in the city - but it can get packed so be prepared to queue.

For years it has been considered one of the perks of a Scotlans home game for visiting fans to attempt a circuit of Rose Street. There are approximatley 15 pubs in the street and some areas of it are free from traffic, making it an ideal 'wander about aimlessly' location.

Rose Street Brewery - Look out here for the infamous "auld Reekie" ale.

The Murrayfield ground was purchased from the Edinburgh Polo Club for a sum of Ł3800. It was in March 1925 which saw the new stand and ground officially opened, when Scotland played England.

Scotland won 14 - 11 and they recorded their first "Grand Slam" of victories in 1975. There were 104,000 spectators which officially watched Scotland beat Wales 12-10 at Murrayfield in March 1975, a world record that still holds today.

The new look Murrayfield was opened in 1994 by the Princess Royal and although the popular terracing has gone, the atmosphere feared lost in the redevelopment has not come to pass.

Getting to the ground poses no problems however. Unlike most international stadiums there are plenty of bars and pubs nearby, in fact in Rose Street, near the ground, there are a staggering seventeen pubs to boast of, so staying sober could be a problem....
