Borough Briggs, Football stadium in Elgin, Scotland.
Borough Briggs features a grass playing surface, a main stand with 478 seats, and additional standing areas accommodating up to 4,520 spectators in total.
The stadium opened its gates on August 20, 1921, with a Highland League match between Elgin City and Inverness Citadel, resulting in a 3-0 victory.
As the northernmost football league stadium in Great Britain, Borough Briggs maintains traditional elements of Scottish football with its grass pitch and classic terracing.
The main stand contains seats originally from Newcastle United's St James' Park, which were acquired when Elgin City entered the Scottish Football League in 2000.
The first goal at Borough Briggs came from City centre-half Willie Raitt, who scored after 20 minutes at the Lossie Green end of the ground.
