Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (The school itself has occupied this Barnton campus since 1968, but that is a school-relocation date, not necessarily when the specific rugby pitch was laid out. Rugby League Project's own team-venue history separately lists Royal High Rugby Club (2020) as a distinct venue entry from Royal High School (2022-2023) for the tenant club; it is unclear whether these denote the same physical ground under different labels.) |
