In 1925, Scotland played their first ever game at Murrayfield Stadium. They opened this new home with a landmark result, defeating England with a late drop-goal to secure their maiden Grand Slam title. This was the first in a long line of epic encounters that would take place on that hallowed turf over the next century.
In This is Murrayfield, celebrated rugby writers Peter Burns and Rob Robertson curate 100 of the most memorable, significant and sometimes quirky fixtures to have been played at Murrayfield over the last 100 years. Gorgeously illustrated with black and white and colour photographs throughout, this is an insightful, fun and fascinating record of some of the greatest moments in Scottish rugby history.
