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:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
