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.
