Treasured Places (30 July 2007)

In 1911 the Scottish Rugby Union purchased land at Murrayfield for use by the national team. It is now the largest stadium in Scotland with an all-seated capacity of 67,500, considerably less than the record attendance of 104,000 for a match against Wales in 1975 before the removal of standing areas.
