Banffshire & District League, Banffshire League and North-Eastern League

 

Page created: 21 August 2020

Updated: 7 December 2023

 

Formed on 29 November 1899, the Banffshire & District League was open to all Senior clubs within Banffshire. It disbanded in 1904 before re-forming as the Banffshire League in 1908, continuing until 1913. A league of the same name was subsequently competed for twice in the 1920s.

In 1931 the former member clubs reformed the league as the North-Eastern League.
