Dewar Shield
1899-1983
Presented by
Lord Provost Dewar of Perth, this competition was
played between the winners of the Aberdeenshire, Forfarshire, Perthshire and
Stirlingshire Cups, the winners being declared champions of the four Northern
counties. Attempts by the Fifeshire FA to be included were knocked back so as not to
disturb the four club symmetry of the tournament. Originally played at the
tail-end of the season, in the post-war era it was often played into the
following season or even stretched over several seasons, if played at all.
After an abeyance of 12 years, the competition was resurrected by, the now Lord Forteviot in 1927. If a county hadn’t played off their Cup,
or it was still running, then That county FA would
nominate a suitable club to enter the Dewar Shield. The Shield was last played
for in 1982, and resides still at the McDiarmid
Stadium’s boardroom in Perth.
