UPDATES
25 April the date and result of every Highland League Cup match from 1946-2025 are now on the site.
24 April East of Scotland League more results for 1964-65 and 1965-66 have been added, The Border Section of the 1967-68 season has also been updated. John Weir's research has been able to confirm the remaining missing scores for the 1984-85 season. The EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup and East of Scotland League Cup have also been updated
10 April
Scott Husband has sent some amendments and additions for the 1961-62
Aberdeenshire Cup and 1957-58
North of Scotland Cup. I've looked more at the latter and it appears every match in this competition is now accounted for. Further research of the Inverness Cup has also yielded more results for the 1950s editions and I'll be looking further into this cup over the next few days.
Further research of the Highland League has uncovered three of the missing results ..
1923-24
28 Apr Inv Thistle v Caley 1-2
1926-27
8 Sep Caley v Clach 2-1
1947-48
16 Aug RAF v Deveronvale 1-7
This leaves only SIX matches to confirm.
2 April A discussion on the History of the Highland League Facebook group regarding the 1923-24 Highland League has noted that the result of the Forres v Nairn County match was actually 4-3 and not 3-3 as recorded in the results matrix. This has now been amended and league table adjusted accordingly. Thanks to Ian McNeill for uncovering this error.
As for ttwo Caley v Thistle matches where the scores are unknown, based on an, albeit somewhat dodgy table published on 1 April 1924, it appears the undated match in the grid was played prior to this date and was won 2-1 to Caley with the 28 April match also ending 2-1.
31 March
Chris Soutar has unearthed a report that the 1925-26 Morayshire Junior Leaguewas won by Lossiemouth Rangers and this has been confirmed by a subsequent report in the Aberdeen P&J on 1 June 1926. Sorry Newmill!
29 March 1987-88 East of Scotland League First Division results near complete. The only two outstanding results are the two Heriot-Watt v Tollcross matches played on 26 March and 26 April 1988. It looks likely that Tollcross won both matches by an aggregate score of 8-0.
28 March I've reviewed the 1951-52 East of Scotland League and the updated results grid and table is now on the site. 20 match results are unfortunately still outstanding. I have attempted to use week to week league tables as published in the press to determine the missing results however this has been problematic. For a start some newspapers printed tables that conflict with another paper's. Also some cup-ties were also counted as league matches, some of these were subsequently taken out, then some added back!
25 March
John has found more results for the1983-84 East of Scotland League. Using the weekly tables published in contemporary newspapers, I've been able to compile a near complete result grid, the resultd dates and/or dates of seven matches still needing to be confirmed.
I received an email from Bruce Ralston concerning the 1952 Scottish Amateur Cup final...
"Whilst browsing through the facts and figures and happy memories of my younger days (I am now 86 years of age) I did, however come across a discrepancy which I feel sure you would want to know about.
In the section on Scottish Amateur Cup finals, it correctly shows details of the 1957 final as Giffnock North 4 Cupar Hearts 2. As a teenager representing the Youth sections of the club on the Giffnock North committee at that time I can vividly recall every minute of that memorable day.
However, your details of the 1952 final – Port Glasgow Hibs 1 Giffnock North 0 – are incorrect. Much as I would like to claim that Giffnock North have appeared in two finals, in 1952 it was in fact Giffnock Amateurs, an entirely different club. Both played in the Scottish Amateur League, and shared the same pitch at Huntly Park, Giffnock, which, of course, led to a close local rivalry.
There is absolutely no doubt that it was Giffnock AMATEURS who appeared in the 1952 final."
19 March East of Scotland League for 1954-55 has been further amended. John has also sent more dates/results for the 1982-83 season.
15 March The 1975-76 season of the East of Scotland League, EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup has been updated, the confirmation of only two league results outstanding. Further work on the 1950s to 1980s period is ongoing. Many thanks to JOHN WEIR for his unwavering research in this period.
9 March Edinburgh & District League More dates and results have been found for this league which operated between 1930 and 1935. The league tables have also been corrected.
I've also added the pre-WWI Eastern League results and tables, this league ran from 1912-1914 and contained several Lothian and Borders clubs.
4 March East of Scotland League, EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup, Alex Jack Cup and East of Scotland League Cup all updated
Border Cup updated
John has sent more league and cup results for the 1979-1986 period, as well as additional info for the earlier seasons. I've also looked at the 19th century editions of the cup competitions and made further amendments to those. Thanks to Madara of P&B forum for highlighting a Border Cup error, 1910 semi-final should read Duns 1 Coldstream 3, not 3-1.
2 March
Gordon Hunter has noted a couple of results for the 1966-67 East of Scotland League, the results grids for this season is now near complete.
1 March Thanks to Eednud of P&B for noting the final score of the 1901-02 Paul Shield between Selkirk and Duns (4-1).
I've been looking at the 19th century seasons of the EOS Qualifying Cup, EOS Consolation Cup and King Cup and unearthed a number of the missing dates and scores. These are now on the site.

22 February A correction have been made to the winners list for the Lanarkshire Cup, Airdrieonians were the winners in 1991, not Motherwell.
The scoreline of the 1911
Dumbartonshire Cup final has also been fixed, Vale of Leven beat Dumbarton Harp 3-1, not the other way around.

results from seasons 1875 up to 2023-24 are now on the site. This page also includes the 1921-22 Eastern League and the Edinburgh & District League of 1930-1935.
There are still a fair number of missing dates and/or results but research is continuing to unearth these.
John Weir is continuing to look further into the 1960s and late 1970s/early 1980s seasons while HibeeJibee of the Pie & Bovril Forum has also pulled out the stops and has been supplying missing information for the 1990s and early 2000s.
24 January
East of Scotland League, EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup and East of Scotland League Cup results now extended up to season 2001-02 although there are still some missing dates for these.
19 January 1997-98 results added for the East of Scotland League, EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup, Alex Jack Cup and East of Scotland League Cup

12 January 1992-93 results added for the East of Scotland competitions.
Gordon Hunter has added some info on the 1909-10 Lochgelly Shield. This was organised at both Junior and Juvenile level but it seems that the Junior version was abandoned. Lumphinnan Swifts were incorrectly recorded as the Junior winners but they actually won the Juvenile verson

1949-50 Aberdeen 'A' (Away) January 2nd not 1st
1950-51 Brechin City (Away) January 2nd match abandoned due to snow after 61 minutes (Score stood)
1951-52 Dundee 'A' (Away) was September 22nd not September 15 as Montrose played Leith Athletic that day
Research is continuing on finding all the dates and results for the East of Scotland League. and the next batch of seasons 1987-1992) should be on the site by this Friday. John has also looked more into the 1970s seasons and these will also be added.
1 January 2025 First updates of the New Year... East of Scotland League results have now been extended and now covers all seasons from 1923-24 through to 1986-87. I will continue to compile grids for the subsequent seasons and these will be added in due course. There are of course a large number of gaps in these grids so any further additional scores are most welcome.
Again I extend my thanks to John Weir for his continuing help with this project.
The EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup and East of Scotland League Cup have also been updated.
22 December Results for seasons 1975-1979 have now been added to the East of Scotland League page. The King Cup and EOS Qualifying Cups have also been updated.
Mark Pettigrew has noted that the winners of the first North Ayrshire Cup in 1894 was actually Saltcoats Victoria, not Kilbirnie as originally noted, the original scoreline of 3-0 being reversed.
20 December the East of Scotland League page now has results from 1923-1972 and 1979-80. The seasons 1972-1979 will be added over the forthcoming week. The EOS Qualifying Cup, King Cup and East of Scotland League Cup pages have also been updated. Again many thanks to John for sharing his research with me. There are still many gaps in the record so any additions are most welcome!
9 December Mark Pettigrew, who is researching the history of football in Saltcoats, has noted that the result of Saltcoats' Seventh Round Scottish Junior Cup match against Arbroath Woodside was actually 2-1, not 7-1.
6 December
John Weir has been researching the early seasons of The Spartans and has uncovered a huge number of East of Scotland league and cup results for the period. He has generously sent me his research and the EOS Qualifying Cup and King Cup results from 1957-1963 have now been added. I've also done a bit of digging, and have added many results from 1963-1971 and 1976-1987.
Another competition we've unearthed was the original the East of Scotland League Cup which was competed for between 1967 and 1969. Organised to bolster the truncated League programme, the winners were awarded Thomas H Dodds Trophy in memory of the late EOSFA President. The results for this cup have also been added to the site.
Results for the seasons from 1987 to the present day for these three competitions will be added to the site in the near future.
John's research also includes EOS League results for the late 1950s and 60s and these will be added to the site over the next week or so.
21 November
Tom McGouran has added more Quarter-final info for the in the Scottish Junior Cup Records spreadsheet. These can be viewed in the UPDATES tab of the spreadsheet.
20 November further revisions on the Attendance Records have been carried out by Simon.
14 November More of the missing East Fife Amateur League winners have been supplied by Gordon Hunter. Still needed are the champions from 1954-55, 1973-74 and 1978-1980.
Simon Reynolds has revised the Attendance Records spreadsheet
12 November more Lanarkshire Cup results from Bob Beresford involving Dykehead in 1881-82 and 1896-97.
10 November
Peter Ross has unearthed the missing semi-final result for the 1880-81 Lanarkshire Cup
25 Dec 1880 Thistle v Cambuslang 2-1
This means that a 'Third round' match between Hamilton Accies and Cambuslang in March 1881 couldn't be a Lanarkshire Cup-tie. Which beggars the question... did Accies actually enter the Cup that season?
3 November John Weir has supplied a few more results for the 1951-52 East of Scotland League
30 October Stuart Robertson's Juniors records have been added to the Attendance Records spreadsheet by David Ross. David has also sent me a spreadsheet detailing the Scottish Junior Cup finals and semi-finals since 1887. There are also records of the quarter-finals from 1941-2014.
Any help with either of these are most welcome!
14 October
Stuart Robertson has created a new website that will host his extensive research into the Juniors. So far there are about 20 seasons with records covering the whole of Scotland... dates, results and final tables.
http://www.bawsontheslates.com/
10 October
Brian Coulter has sent me a number of 'latest' tables regarding the 1960s Aberdeenshire Junior League.
More Attendance Records are added thanks to David Ross.
8 October After a number of weeks of research, I'm able to publish an extensive record of league and cup matches for Junior leagues and cups in Kincardineshire.
This research has also meant a slight rewriting of the winners lists of some competitions.
For example, the 1908-09 Dawson Cup was actually awarded to the Kincardineshire Junior League champions and didn't become a standalone competition until the following season. The winners of the cup for this pre-WW1 period has also been extensively amended.
2 October David Ross, founder and mentor of the now sadly defunct scottishleague.net, has submitted a huge list of record attendances for over 450 clubs. Due to my ongoing research of Kincardineshire junior competitions (which I hope to publish next week), I currently don't have the time to collate the two spreadsheets so I've added David's work to the current sheet and can be accessed via the tabs.
6 September Thanks to ANGUS MACKAY, I have been able to publish a comprehensive record of football in CAITHNESS since the 1880s, with league and cup winners from numerous competitions competed for by the County FA and Wick FA. Also here are match results from various leagues and cups organised by the Wick FA.
Two downloads are also available...
