Location
Hive Stadium is Edinburgh Rugby’s home ground in Leith. Its smaller scale puts supporters close to the action and gives Friday-night matches a lively feel.
Getting There
Use local bus or tram services where possible. The Leith area has plenty of nearby places for food and drink, but book ahead if you are going as a group.
