Place of first ever rugby international 150 years on

Raeburn Place hosted the first ever rugby international on 27 March 1871. Scotland took on England in front of a crowd of 4,000 and, to the home support's delight, won the encounter by two tries and a goal to England's single try.

Even now, 150 years on, the place is still thriving and hosting rugby.
