Murrayfield Rugby Stadium |
Murrayfield Stadium is a sports stadium in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and is the home of Scottish Rugby Union.
Murrayfield is located in the west-end of Edinburgh, just off Corstorphine Road and close to the Edinburgh Zoo. It is named after the area of Edinburgh it is located in, Murrayfield. It has good public transport links, being particularly well-served by bus links along the Corstorphine Road. However, its nearest railway station is Haymarket, which is a 10-minute walk from the stadium. Currently Murrayfield is used for most Scottish international rugby union matches, with all Scotland's Six Nations home games being played here. Beginning in 2007, Murrayfield will host the Edinburgh 7s, the final event in the annual IRB Sevens World Series in rugby sevens. Murrayfield will also host select matches from the 2007 Rugby World Cup. |
