In all my years going to HL matches, I have never been to Dudgeon Park, or indeed Victoria Park, Dingwall. Harmsworth neither, although with their only having been in the league for five minutes, that’s hardly surprising. I’ve never been north of Dornoch on the east coast, nor of Ullapool on the west. I have been in Wick, but only when the ABZ-Orkney plane touched down en route as the pilot had forgotten his flask, or something.

I’ve all but given up driving, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever trail up that far before I snuff it, although we now have spaver relatives in Spinningdale and Migdale.
