Leith Athletic’s former home at Leith Links. Their club rooms were the yellow buildings at the back of this picture c/o John McEwan

A wee special follows here of one of the most interesting grounds in Scottish non-league... Balgreen Park, Kirkcowan, home of Tarff Rovers.
The following pictures were taken in January 2009 by Jamie Wire. Even though Rovers have been gone for a number of years, the pitch is
still in regular use by a youth team.

Three views of the Jeanfield Recreation Ground (a.k.a. The Bowl) from Keith Wilson. This was the home of Perth Celtic until their
withdrawal from Junior football in the 1990s as well as Kinnoull up to 1984. Jeanfield Swifts also played here. The green hut with
the rusting red roof (above) was the Celtic clubrooms, while Kinnoull had one next door, which has now been replaced. The pitch is
now used for amateur football.
