The which is in Microsoft
Excel 2003 format, is available for free download. When you click
on the link, click SAVE and the file will download to disk. The file can,
when opened, then be sorted into various categories...by town, location,
dates of existence etc. 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. And of course
additional info from site visitors (many thanks!) Other
