Powderhall Stadium, Sports stadium in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The multiple-sport venue on Beaverhall Road featured racing tracks, spectator stands, and facilities for various athletic competitions and events.
Established in 1870, Powderhall Stadium drew inspiration from London's Stamford Bridge and initially focused on professional sprint races and track athletics.
The stadium gained recognition for the Powderhall Sprint, a professional sprint handicap competition that continued for one hundred years.
The facility maintained regular operations until 1995, when the property underwent demolition to make space for residential development projects.
Eric Liddell, whose story appeared in the film Chariots of Fire, trained at Powderhall Stadium during the 1920s for his athletic competitions.
