Scotland v England

The Auld enemy have held real sway over England in the last few years, claiming the iconic Calcutta Cup in five successive years. Whether it’s been at the Allianz Stadium or Scottish Gas Murrayfield, Scotland have found a way of taking England’s scalp. This is international rugby’s oldest and perhaps grandest fixture – a rolling epic that needs no build up. Edinburgh is a fantastic rugby city. It swells with pride, it creates a wonderful atmosphere, it relishes facing England. Nothing beats it for drama, don’t miss it.

There are many things that go hand in hand with a great rugby weekend. Sharing drinks with friends, enjoying the history and culture of fantastic countries and of course food! Our walking food tour experiences are a great way to sample the regional delights of Scotland with experts who will really get you to the heart and soul of favourite dishes at some of the best local eateries in each city. Mouth-watering fun not to be missed.

Your break will include accommodation at one of our specially selected hotels. The hotels will be well located so you can make the most of your break and within easy access to the stadium.

A great way to begin your build up to the weekend’s rugby action!

Edinburgh is an unbeatable city, steeped in history, culture and a majesty that is hard to beat. For rugby fans, it’s perfect to explore on a weekend. From the Royal Mile – where you can grab the holy trinity of Tartan, cashmere and whisky – to the National Museum, the new town and Arthur’s Seat, there is something to see and experience at every turn. Enjoy dockside dining, a wee dram on Princes Street to the throng and singing on matchday, Edinburgh just demands to be experienced.
