North Caledonian League 21-22

The North Caledonian FA runs a league and variety of cup competitions for clubs in the far North of Scotland.

The North Caledonian League is now formally part of the Scottish pyramid, sitting at Tier 6.  There is no automatic promotion, however this season’s champions will contest a play off with the other Tier 6 champions in the north (North Super League and Midland League), for the right to play off against the Highland League’s bottom club.

This season there are eleven clubs participating following an eleventh hour withdrawal from Scourie.  There are no new teams, but the format of the league will refer back to one division, with a 20 game league programme in addition to various cup competitions..

Helmsdale’s Bunillidh Thistle withdrew their team last year and have not returned for this season.
