Summary
| Description |
English: The Greenyards The home of Melrose Rugby Football Club. It was here that the game of Rugby Sevens was invented in 1883 by Ned Haig, a Jedburgh-born butcher who played as a three-quarter for Melrose. The Press Box which dates from the 1930s, is in the roof of the stand with yellow letters MRFC against a black background, the team colours. The area called The Greenyards was gifted to the town by Charles Ormiston, a former seed merchant from Melrose. In ancient times, this was a marsh, which the monks drained and used as a grazing ground and market for sheep. (Source: Melrose Town Trail by scottish-walks.co.uk) |
