The timber cricket pavilion at Manderston is a good and relatively rare example of its sporting building type in Scotland, with lattice timber railings and posts supporting its characteristic cricket-pavilion veranda. Manderston is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Scotland, founded in 1899. The club house was sympathetically extended in the same style in 1999 as part of the clubs centenary celebrations. The cricket ground is located on the Manderston Estate and is situated in notable proximity to outstanding late 18th century classical house itself (see separate listing) which was remodelled by John Kinross between 1901 and 1905.
Cricket has been played in Scotland since the early 19th century and is thought to have arrived in England around the same time. The team arrangement and constitution of cricket generally provided an early formal structure that was easily adopted by other developing team sports, resulting in turn in the rapid advancement of organised sport. Early cricket pitches were often the first playing grounds available to other organised sports and were used for early football and rugby matches.
