The Skol Lager Cup was organised to give some clubs fixtures during the Highland League's winter break of 1982.

The McKessack Quaich was a pre-season tournament organised by Rothes FC, all the matches being played on their McKessack Park ground.

The Norfrost Cup, named after the club's sponsors, was mainly a series of one-off matches between Wick Academy FC and a Scottish League club although the 1996-97 edition was played for as a triangular tournament.

The Rhys Bendel Memorial Trophy was organised by Inverurie Loco Works FC to help raise funds for the Rhys Bendel Leukemia Fund which was set-up to honour the late son of Inverurie-based referee Brian Bendel.
