Three views of Bellsdale Park from Stephen Kerr
The
ground is quite hard to find, lying just beyond a five a side pitch on the west
side of the town. The clubhouse and refreshments canteen is midway down one side
of the ground, with a covered enclosure running beyond that for about 50 yards.The
club, as well as re-doing the old cover, added two new sections on the other side
of the pitch. The revamped and immaculately maintained Bellsdale Park, even with
it's severe slope, is one of the most interesting grounds in Scottish Junior football.
