Renowned rugby commentator and former Scotland trialist Bill McLaren is to be celebrated in a special section of the refreshed Stadium Tour available at Scottish Gas Murrayfield from Monday.
The tour now includes a visit to a reconstruction of Bill’s study transported from his home in Hawick and is complete with desk, typewriter, pictures and vast collection of books, videos, and clippings.
Visitors can also hear a recording of his last ever interview before his death in January 2010, aged 86.
The 90-minute tour takes visitors behind the scenes at the largest stadium in Scotland with an experienced tour guide relating stories across 100 years of Murrayfield history – part of Scottish rugby’s 150-year story. The tour culminates in the Scotland team changing room and includes a walk down the players’ tunnel and into the stadium bowl.
Public guided tours will run twice daily, Monday-Thursday (11am and at 2pm) and three times Friday-Sunday (11am, 1pm and 2pm). The tour will last approximately 90 minutes. Prices start from £15 (adult) and £10 (under-18),
