The team is nicknamed 'The Staggies' and a Stag is depicted on the club crest. Ross County plays its home games at Victoria Park, Dingwall, which has a capacity of 6,310. The team was founded in 1929 and has played most of its football in the Highland League. The Staggies won the Highland League championship in 1967, 1991 and 1992. Ross County also has a proud tradition in the Scottish Cup, having beaten Scottish Football League opposition on eight occasions whilst members of the Highland League. The most memorable of these was in 1994 when Ross beat Forfar Athletic 4-0. Three days later Ross County was elected to the Scottish Football League for the first time in the club's history.
