Notes

Where a name has been used on several occasions, these clubs have been differentiated by a number ie [1], [2] etc.

All dates given are inclusive ie 1890-1892 means seasons 1890-91 and 1891-92.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Where a date is unknown, I have marked it with an asterisk (*). Eg 18** denotes sometime between 1870 and 1890. 189* denotes sometime in the 1890s and so on. Any confirmed dates of formation and/or disbanding are given in bold, while all other dates are given as italics.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Thanks to numerous contributions, the original directory has been greatly expanded upon. In particular I am most grateful to the following individuals for their invaluable help

 

Stuart Robertson, for both helping to compile many of the individual club pages and for giving me access to his own list of Junior clubs

Alick Milne, for allowing me access to his research of colours for a great many Senior clubs.

Tom Thornton (supplying his research on the various East Lothian clubs)

Graeme McGinty (for supplying info on the many West Lothian clubs)

Brian Reilly (for supplying additional clubs in Maryhill in the 1890s)

John Meffen (for supplying clubs from Stirlingshire)

Malcolm Pagan (for supplying information on clubs from Dumfries & Galloway)                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

I also have to thank Alan McCabe, and Stewart Davidson who kindly loaned me copies of club lists compiled by the late Jackie Heaney.
