Sports venue in City of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Murrayfield Ice Rink is a 3,800-seat multi-purpose arena in Edinburgh , Scotland, adjacent to Murrayfield Stadium and situated between the Murrayfield , Roseburn and Saughtonhall neighbourhoods. It was built between 1938 and 1939 (but was not used for its intended purpose until the 1950s, having been used as a store during the Second World War ) and is home to the Edinburgh Capitals ice hockey team and a seven-sheet curling rink which was constructed in the 1970s following the closure of Haymarket Ice Rink .[ 2] In 2013 it was designated a Category B listed structure by Historic Environment Scotland due to being "an extremely rare surviving example of a purpose-built ice rink building... features a stylish 1930s Art Deco entrance façade".[ 3] Since 2021, the Edinburgh Rugby Stadium has been situated immediately to the south.
