1978 saw the closure of Haymarket Ice Rink, which was predominately a curling rink and a demand suddenly existed from the curling fraternity for more curling ice than could be accommodated within the tight schedules at Murrayfield Ice Rink.
The concept of a new rink in Edinburgh dedicated to curling began to emerge, an advisory committee was put together and with the Scottish Rugby Union agreeing to sell the necessary parcel of land the concept turned into reality with a separate seven sheet curling rink being opened in September 1980.
Later a new company was formed to separately run the new Rink called Murrayfield Curling Limited.

Venue
