Lowland League

 

Page created: 24 August 2020

Updated: 2 June 2026

 

The Lowland League was founded on 11 June 2013 by the Scottish FA. Preston Athletic, The Spartans and Threave Rovers as fully licensed clubs were offered automatic entry, other clubs had to apply. While twentyseven clubs registered their interest, seventeen applications were received. After the meeting on 17 June it was decided to have 12 clubs in the league: Dalbeattie Star, East Kilbride, Edinburgh City, Gala Fairydean Rovers, Gretna 2008, Preston Athletic, Selkirk, The Spartans, Threave Rovers, Stirling University, Vale of Leithen, and Whitehill Welfare. The league has three feeder leagues, West of Scotland, East of Scotland and South of Scotland.

From 2026, the league will operate as two regional divisions.
