Was hoping to watch the game out the window if it was pishing down. At the end of the lane first right below. P.S. Think it was @MarkPockets who set me right on this too.. I can confidently say my knowledge of Scourie is likely unrivalled on P&B. I can see my parents' house in the background of that photo 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've also got South Lochaber Thistle from Kinlochleven in the Greater Glasgow AFL though they are above the tier 5 dividing line. South Lochaber Thistle was who I was thinking of. Did they move from Ballachulish? Thought that was where they were from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always played out of Kinlochleven although perhaps they have played fixtures in Ballachulish in Jubilee Park but it's a shinty ground There was a Ballachulish team in the Lochaber welfare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I knew it's the brown wood-panelled building behind those bushes on the right. It looks like it used to be a small bunkhouse or something. You've now got me wondering whether there are any grounds where you can watch the game from a B&B, hotel or self-catering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning a trip to Scourie for the school holidays in September or October and had very nearly booked the self catering right beside the pitch. Sorry for those who must have worked hard to get them this far. I hope they feel it was worth it anyway. Yes disappointing that Scourie FC has withdrawn from the NCL. However today's opening results suggest that the league will be very competitive this season, if today's results are anything to go by : Alness Utd 2 Invergordon 3 Golspie 3 Inverness Ath 3 Nairn " A" 3 St Duthus 2 Halkirk Utd 3 Thurso 0 Bonar Bridge, Loch Ness, and Orkney kick off their season next Saturday, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCL is the lowest tier in Nairn's area. Also, the OF have made several attempts to get their colts into L2, most recently in June of this year.
