  • Arbroath On This Day
    David W. Potter
    Arbroath is a remarkable Scottish town. It can be one of the coldest places in Christendom when the wind is coming from the wrong direction, as anyone who has ever been to a cricket match at Lochlands at the start of the season can testify, and it has often been a source of wonder to many visiting supporters that Gayfield has not been swept away by the angry North Sea.The town ...

  • Forfar On This Day
    David W. Potter / David WPotter
    This isn’t a history of Forfar. Instead it gives readers an excerpt, a sample, of what life was like on any given day of the year in a community that has been both a traditional market town and a major manufacturing centre for linen and jute. There is no hierarchy in what has been chosen - World Wars are interspersed with Church socials and cycling events, the affairs of Forfar...

  • Dunfermline Athletic On This Day
    David W. Potter / Gordon McKenzie
    Although the bad days are incredibly hard to take at the time, the pain of them dies through time; we surely can’t be alone in looking back and smiling at some of them. As a club firmly established in what the legendary Bob Crampsey described as the ’middle order’ of Scottish football, it’s unlikely the Pars will ever win the league or get very far in Europe. We might as well e...

  • Sixty Great Scottish Cricket Games
    David W Potter
    Cricket is a very old game in Scotland — far older than football, a sport which sometimes exercises a baleful, obsessive and deleterious effect on the national psyche. Cricket goes back at least as far as the Jacobite rebellions and their sometimes vicious aftermaths. It is often felt that Scottish cricket underplays itself. It has been portrayed as in some ways an English spor...

  • Kirkcaldy On This Day
    David W Potter
    The Lang Toun of Kirkcaldy has had its fair share of life’s problems. From 1244 to the present day, there have been events which stand out from the ordinary. Some are the stuff of history. Others are very personal – perhaps, to those not involved - quite unimportant. But taken together they illustrate a community with a common resilience to adversity, ready to face an uncertain...

  • East Fife On This Day
    David W Potter
    North of Kirkcaldy, lucky are those - from Levenmouth through the East Neuk to the Tay – who can count East Fife as their Club. It is, by some standards, a very young team, founded some 20 years after Raith Rovers, and a good 30 years after senior football had begun to take off. The first Scotland International was played in 1872, and the first Scottish Cup final took place in ...

  • Raith Rovers On This Day
    David W Potter
    In this view of the history of Raith Rovers the author builds up the story of the club by recounting events that happened on every day of the year, even during the summer months. Triumphs, disasters, shipwrecks, crazy Board Room decisions, managers (good and bad), players (brilliant and mediocre) all feature. As do Davie Morris, who captained Scotland when they beat all three H...

  • Forfar Athletic On This Day
    David W Potter
    Forfar Athletic have had some dreadful times, but they have had their share of success as well. Here the author has found something memorable that has happened on every single day in the year— a chronicle by a man who first watched the Loons in 1954 and whose father and grandfather watched them way before. This is a football book, but it is more than that – it is a glimpse of t...
