| Ground
Details:
A nice sheltered venue (Broadwood take note...). There is a large enough covered enclosure, and behind one goal is the changing facilities. Cumbernauld Village seems to perch precariously above Guys Meadow which itself lies at the edge of woodland. Supporters can only stand on two sides of the ground. There is a well-stocked pie stall, although the fayre is terrible. Social Club: |

Burgh/JB |
| home
kit: |
| Ground Details:
The main feature of the well-kept ground is the covered enclosure opposite the terraced side where the home support congregates. It probably holds a couple of hundred. Behind both goals are sections of grass banking, while more cover can be found next to the pie-stall which is inside the club's main building. The nearest pub is the Thorn Inn, but Coanes' in the town centre is where to drink. Burgh have plans to relocate to a new ground at the Thomas Shanks Memorial Park, just off Beith Road, sometime soon. Social Club: There is no social club |

| Lesmahagow FC Craighead Park, Milton, Lesmahagow Nickname:
The Gow |
| Home colours: |
| Ground Details:
Craighead Park is an odd ground. The high-roofed stand structure is quite small, holding a few hundred, and the terracing mainly consists of very steep grass banking, although one end seems to have no boundary as it rises into a mini-mountain before disappearing into a forest. Surely there is a means of getting free admission from here? At the opposite end is a small section of terracing, next to the social club. The terrace continues onto the side opposite the stand.

| Maryhill FC Lochburn Park, Lochburn Road, Maryhill Nickname:
The Hill | ||||
| Home colours:
| ||||
| Ground Details:
A compact ground that is devilishly hidden at the top of a hill off Lochburn Road, a red and black gate is the main entrance. Inside the ground is a health club (entry on non-matchdays is via the turnstiles!) and shop selling the usual club merchandise and fantastic pies. The pitch itself is sunk six feet below the terracing - a somewhat bizarre site. A covered terrace runs down one side of the ground and is bisected by the players tunnel. Behind the goal opposite to the turnstiles is a brand-new section of multicoloured open bucket seating, built in time for season 1998-99. The health club is strangely positioned at the halfway line but its overhanging roof provides extra cover for anyone caught in a heavy downpour on the wrong side of the pitch. Lochburn Park is also one of the few grounds in the juniors to have floodlights. Social Club: Yes | ||||

| Vale of Leven FC Millburn Park, Leven Street, Alexandria Nickname:
The Vale |
| Home colours: |
| Ground Details:
A relic from a previous time, Millburn Park is 'a bit of a dump'. There is a pie stand at the pavilion (which looks like a blockhouse in Kosovo), but the pitch however is superb. There once was a huge covered enclosure, but half of the roof has since gone missing - and therefore doesn't provide much sanctuary in a gale. All four sides are concrete step terraced.
