Scottish cricket clubs
1842-07-01
The Grange Cricket Club, founded in Edinburgh in 1832, became the powerhouse of Scottish cricket through the 1840s, staging fixtures at Raeburn Place that attracted crowds of several thousand and inviting All-England Eleven sides north for high-profile matches. Scottish cricket in this era was concentrated among the professional and merchant classes of Edinburgh and Glasgow and maintained a quality far above what the small population base might suggest.
