Many thanks to you both.

[Jackdaw33]

I don't get the Murrayfield connection.

[Nymtar]

Likewise jj109 and Gangesboy

[Nymtar]

Could the Murrayfield connection be Pree (Scottish kiss)?

[scorpiojo]

Does it just indicate a Scottish word?

[TheFrogman]

^

Aye, nae doot aboot it

[dannyk13]

Origin is Scottish & Northern England

[Jackdaw33]

I just thought Murrayfield was a bit too specific. I would have expected the name of a Scottish city.

[dannyk13]

The implication is that Murrayfield is in Scotland.Setter trying to be a bit vague.

[TheFrogman]

To get a good surface reading, on occasion setters will be more restrictive still by using a stereotypical name ("Jock's tested...") or a real name that is associated with the locale ("Connery's tested...", "Nicola's tested...").
