History
The ground dates back to May 1966 when 7 acres (28,000 m2) of land was purchased for the building of a social club and footballing grounds. Over the years the grounds and club itself were improved when in 1986 it became the permanent home ground for the Bonnyrigg White Eagles.
In 2001, an additional 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land was purchased as part of a plan to renovate the club and expand the training grounds. This was completed in October 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
