Murrayfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murrayfield is an area in the west of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is to the east of Corstorphine and west of Roseburn. The A8 road runs east-west through the north of the area.
It is known mostly for containing Murrayfield Stadium, home to the Scottish national rugby team and venue for many sporting events. In the shadow of the Stadium is Murrayfield Ice Rink, which currently hosts the Edinburgh Capitals ice hockey team and previously played host to the famous Murrayfield Racers. In the 2006-07 season, Heart of Midlothian played their UEFA Champions League ties at Murrayfield.
In addition to the stadium, there is a Murrayfield Golf Course. Aside from sports facilities, there is a lot of residential land use, and the area has a BUPA private hospital and small numbers of shops, businesses including a BMW dealership, and hotels.
