New Central Park is the home of Kelty Hearts FC.

It’s a tidy traditional Scottish football ground.

The photographs are from the day of Sons’ first visit to it on 9/11/2024.

Mosset Park is home to Forres Mechanics FC, who play in the Highland League. The ground lies right by the A 95.

We happened to pass it on our trip up north in July 2024, so of course I had to stop to photograph it.  It looks tidy enough but I’ve not been inside.

Mosset Park, Forres:-

This football ground is home to Deveronvale Football Club who play in the Highland League.

It stands by the banks of the River Deveron, from which the club takes its name, where the river flows into the sea between the towns of Banff and Macduff.

I missed photographing this when I visited Huntly before despite  it being very near Huntly’s War Memorial.

Christie Park is the home of Huntly FC, who play in the Highland League.

View of ground from Castle Street:-

Entrance gates/turnstiles. These have an Art Deco styling:-

Christie Park from southeast. I had to stand on a wall to get the photos from which I made this stitched picture:-

It’s a tidy ground.

Borough Briggs is the home of Elgin City FC.

This is the reason we made the trip up north in April. I had never visited Borough Briggs. And the mighty Sons of the Rock had a game there.

(Of current SPFL grounds the only ones I still have to visit are St Mirren Park, Paisley (I was at St Mirren’s old ground in Love Street,) Victoria Park, Dingwall (Ross County) and Central Park (Kelty Hearts,) though there are some others I haven’t photographed since it was a long time ago.

During World War 2 a pillbox was built on the west terracing (called, I believe, the Bank.) See here. Those nefarious Germans could have attacked from anywhere after all. Sadly it was demolished as part of the conditions for Elgin joining the SFL, as it then was, in 2000.

I featured Forthbank Stadium, home of Stirling Albion FC, in 2011.

In March last year I took more pictures of which only the two below are substantially new.

Townhead Park is the home of Cumnock Juniors FC.

My visit here was the reason why we were in Ayrshire last October, Sons trip to Cumnock for the Second Round Scottish Cup game.

I don’t know when I’ll ever get down to Stair Park, home of Stranraer FC again (I saw Sons play there in 1971!)

However I found on the old internet this cracking view (on Facebook from Scarlett Visuals) of the ground from the air. You can find it here.

I also found this view of the turnstiles:-

Edited to add: sadly the links to these photos no lnger work.

Dudgeon Park is the home of Brora Rangers FC who play in the Highland League.

Harmsworth Park, Wick, is the home of Wick Academy FC who play in the Highland League.

The ground is situated towards the south of the town beside the A 99 road.

I photographed it during the close season hence the lack of goalposts.

From west south west, showing the Main Stand on the north side. You can see the pitch has an appreciable slope in two directions:-
