 Peterhead website - where to eat.
The concept of Peterhead Football Club was originally formed in the heads of a group of enthusiastic football fans in 1890, with these men forming the first committee of the Club.
Football had been played in the town as far back as the 1870's, but these men had decided it was time for a proper team, playing to the rules set down by the SFA.
As well as playing to a higher level, fitter players were needed because of the significant change in the length of the league season - with a larger base league, two cup competitions and a reserve league to compete in, though the reserve league was the old Aberdeenshire league.

 Buckie Thistle Football Club :: Highland League Football   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Buckie Thistle Football Club tonight sensationally confirmed that they have reported Deveronvale manager, Greg Carroll, to the Scottish Football Association for illegally “tapping up” several of the club’s players.
Buckie’s normally laid back manager, Duncan Shearer was also quite hacked off by the antics of his Deveronvale counterpart and remarked “Many other clubs in the Highland League have had to put up with this manager’s behaviour, as we have done and none has so far spoken up in public about it.
This type of behaviour certainly does little to foster good working relationships between Deveronvale and other Highland League clubs and the time appears nigh for the upper echelons in Scottish Football to enforce their rules.
