Formed in 1869 by a group of sporting enthusiasts, who initially played a crude form of rugby football, Kilmarnock F.C. was eventually constituted in 1872. This exhibition of the Mother Club of football in Ayrshire takes us on a journey from the early days of the club’s construction to the present day. An exhibition that will have all football fans’ attention with the historical items and memorabilia on display. Kilmarnock season ticket holders will get a 50% discount upon entry when they show their season ticket at our reception.

Please note, this exhibition will close late summer 2021.

The Scots created curling. They wrote the first rules and standardised the stones and the size of the rink. They made its language, from the hog to the house, and they gave it to the world.

This exhibition was based on the collection of the late Sheriff David B. Smith which he left to the Scottish Curling Trust in 2015.

Presented to coincide with the centenary of Albion Rovers F.C. at Cliftonhill Stadium in Coatbridge, these photographs by Iain McLean show the fans and environment from a typical lower league football club.

The photographs are a small part of Iain’s ongoing social document featuring the people and environment of Albion Rovers with the pictures presented in black and white to lend them a timeless feel.

The images here were produced home and away between April 2011 and January 2018.

With the club frequently battling against the odds it is fair to say that they would not exist without the core of supporters who volunteer for all manner of jobs at the club, and this splendid old stadium brings people together from all walks of life with a common cause and on occasion can be the stage for something special.

Iain hopes these photographs inform the viewer of the rich sub-culture that is Scottish lower league football and he is sure that you will smile at least once.
