Welcome to my site!
The idea for starting up this site is all down to a database that I have been working on for well over 20 years. Dedicated to the origins of football in Scotland, from the earliest records through to 1873, I am using much of the primary evidence as the basis for a PhD study into the development of organised football in Scotland. I intend to post up blogs and articles based on some of the references which can be found within the database. To visit the blog click on the link below.
