SCC is the 10th oldest continuously-running cricket club in Scotland.
Its early years were something of a nomadic existence, with matches played on what is now the Victoria Park, and later at the Riverside Mill.
In 1871, the club faced a serious threat when Selkirk Town Council announced plans to build factories on their field at the time.
It was then club president Sir John Murray of Philiphaugh who stepped in, offering land to secure the club’s future.
Selkirk moved to Philiphaugh that same year – where it has remained ever since.
The club president believes Philiphaugh is central to the club’s identity.
“It is one of the most scenic grounds in Scotland,” he said.
“Clubs that have never visited before, they say just what an amazing ground it is.”
