Forest Pitch, outside Selkirk.

On 25th August 2012, approximately 500 spectators from across Scotland and beyond made their way to the Forest Pitch site; Clarilawmuir Plantation, near Selkirk. Walking from the nearby fields, through specially created winding woodland paths, they finally broke through the dark and dense trees to be confronted by the bright glowing green of a freshly mown, full-size football pitch. As music from the Edinburgh Brass Band floated its way over the tree tops, the players themselves made their way to the changing rooms, built using some of the timber cut down to make way for the pitch.

Lots of info about the day and the creation of it https://www.forestpitch.org/
