Harmsworth Park on matchday from David Smith - the enclosure now has less seats

There are two seated stands, one very small, and the other built/converted more recently. Either end of the grounds and the remaining areas down the sides are grassed. The floodlights and steelwork for the stand came from Kingsmills, home of Inverness Thistle. Wick also got the Thistle boardroom table.
