Hotels near rugby stadiums in Scotland

Rugby is a sport that has a long tradition in Scotland. In fact, Scotland organised and won the first ever rugby international on the 27th March 1871. The match was against England and took place on the cricket field of the Edinburgh Academy. Today the Scotland national rugby union team plays in the annual Six Nations Championship and the quadrennial Rugby World Cup. The top Scottish rugby teams compete in major regional and international tournaments, such as the Magners League and the Heineken Cup.

Scotland has four important international airports, all with connections to and from major cities across Europe and even further afield. Fans taking flights to Scotland will find, on arrival, comprehensive bus and rail networks that will help them reach their onward destination with ease. When visiting Scotland, many rugby fans choose to take a break from the tournaments and enjoy organised trips through the country's beautiful landscape. While exploring the magnificent views, visitors can take advantage of plentiful accommodation, ranging from world-class hotels, holiday cottages, log cabins and a wide range of cozy B&B's, to make a memorable holiday of their stay here.

The home of Scottish rugby is Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The national team plays its home games here and the final of national competitions, such as the Scottish Hydro Electric Cup also take place here.
