Rugby
In 1897 land at Inverleith was purchased by the Scottish Rugby Union (then the Scottish Football Union). Thus the organisation became the first of the "Home Unions" to own its own ground. The first visitors were Ireland, on 18 February 1899 when the score was Scotland 3 — Ireland 9. International rugby was played at Inverleith until 1925 when it was transferred to Murrayfield Stadium. The parts of the land at Inverleith are now owned by Stewart's Melville College and The Edinburgh Academy. They are used as playing fields for rugby in the winter and cricket/athletics in the summer.
