    The Highland League has now opened itself to promotion/relegation (via playoffs) between the North Caledonian League and SJFA North Superleague (possibly SJFA East Super League as well) so soon there might be new Highland League teams to visit along with the teams playing in the new tier 6 leagues with ambitions of playing at a higher level, and possibly one day reaching the SPFL.

    I come from a Scottish town called Glenrothes, so I imagine Rothes is pronounced the same. It's Roth-ess, you pronounce the Es like it's Ness without the N.

    Stephen King is officially a fan of Buckie Thistle now, he attended a book festival recently wearing a Buckie Thistle top! They also have some other famous scottish cup moments aswell as the one you mentioned. They played holders Falkirk and scored to go 2-1 up with 5 minutes left, only for the ref to disallow it and Falkirk go up the park and score the winner. They also once knocked Hamilton out with a 2-0 win.
    Big fanbase too, check out videos on youtube from 2010 and 2011 when they won their first league championship in over 50 years, then won it again the year after. A crowd of 2600 was at the final game of the season in the title decider against rivals Deveronvale. What an atmosphere that day! Buckie came from a goal down to win 2-1 with a top quality late free kick to win the title. ruclips.net/video/-vpoeVyN06I/видео.html

    Alan Shields
    Hamilton
    South Lanarkshire
    Scotland.
    As regards Bukie Thistle
    My understanding is they contacted
    Jock Stein through Celtic to see if they could get a set of strips as did
    Bradford Park Avenue & Jock Stein then organized for both clubs to get a set of Celtic home strips at different times.
    Dont worry about
    not getting to Fraserburgh sometimes our wether in Scotland get the better of all of us but I believe our wether being so severe at times makes us mentality stronger in a way.
    You pronounced
    Deveronvale perfectly.
    Rothes I would just say it as it is spelt.
    Keep Safe Sam.

    Stephen King has won Scottish football club Buckie Thistle a new army of fans after featuring the remote Highland League team in his new novella series.
    The American horror author has featured Buckie Thistle in his latest horror collection If It Bleeds because of its 'gorgeous name'.
    Since then, King has also donated Scotland's north-east coast football team two signed copies of the book to help them fundraise during the coronavirus pandemic.
