Raeburn Place

Raeburn Place

Raeburn Place is the main street of Stockbridge, Edinburgh, amd the name of the playing fields there. The first international rugby union game was played on the playing fields at Raeburn Place on 27 March 1871 between England and Scotland. It was won by Scotland, though England got revenge at the Kennington Oval, London in the following year.

The playing fields are still used by the Edinburgh Academical cricket and football clubs.

In 1994, the Women's Rugby World Cup final between England and the USA, which England won, was played at Raeburn Place. It was also the site of the first ever women's international for both Scotland and Ireland, occurring when the two nations met in 1993.
