Murrayfield Stadium Tour

This is the home of Scottish Rugby and is one of the largest sports stadiums in the UK. It is located in the west end of Edinburgh, with the postcode EH12 5PJ.

What to Expect and Enjoy
A stadium tour takes you “behind the scenes” to places you would never see on a match day. It’s a real thrill for any sports fan.

The Tunnel and Pitch: The highlight for many is walking down the tunnel and out toward the pitch, hearing the “roar” of the crowd played over the speakers.
The Changing Rooms: You can visit the Scotland team’s home dressing room and see where the players prepare for the big international games.
The Bill McLaren Press Suite: You get to see where the legendary broadcasters worked and learn about the history of rugby in Scotland.
Heritage Collection: There is a fantastic collection of trophies (including the Calcutta Cup) and historic memorabilia to look at.

Best For and Time Spent
A “must” for rugby fans and families. Kids generally love the scale of the building and the chance to run near the pitch. It’s very accessible, so it’s great for seniors and those using wheelchairs too. [1]

Duration: The guided tour usually lasts about 90 minutes.

Helpful Tips for Your Visit

Booking: You definitely need to book this in advance. Tours don’t usually run on match days or during large events (like concerts), so check the calendar before you plan your trip.
Transport: The easiest way to get there is by tram. There is a dedicated “Murrayfield Stadium” stop that drops you right outside.
Parking: There is very limited parking at the stadium itself for tours. You might find a spot on nearby side streets, but it’s often easier to use the city’s Park and Ride.
Nearby: The Roseburn Bar is just a short walk away—it’s a famous rugby pub filled with memorabilia and is a great spot for a drink or a snack after your tour.
