Fraserburgh have won the Highland League.They will play off against Lowland League winners Bonnyrigg Rose to face the bottom club in the Scottish League 2 for a place in the SPFL which is Cowdenbeath.

Bellslea Park, Fraserburgh’s ground is a wonderful old venue from a different era.Pre WW1 Grandstand, complete with grass banking around the pitch.

Worth a visit if you are in the north east corner of Scotland.

Would love to see Arbroath make it to The Premiership. Be great to see them up there alongside Celtic and Rangers. Are they still part-time?
