A 4000 year old history lesson
He chose to go here surprisingly. Far too hot though
There is always one
This is some place for a book nerd like me. The biggest second hand book shop in Scotland
Lunch, which was delightful
Where the team name comes from
Only my second visit but Wee Man’s first
Adult mascot. Magic stuff
Kick off
Our gear for the day
The stand is not for fitba OCD folk
Callum Black chasing back
Veteran defender Gary Warren recieves the ball
The Clach Subs being subs
Callum Black goes down injured after an innocuous one
Ready for half time
His own ball boy
Ten seconds later the ball was in with a big hand from Andy McAskill
Daniel Rae clearing lines in front of the lets say, vocal touchline
The “wine shed” lived up to its name with bottles of Buckfast being scoofed
One of many rammies. Probably the most players in this one
