Arbroath FC (Gayfield Park)
14 minute walk from Arbroath station · Dundee, Aberdeen and North East
Gayfield Park is the historic home ground of Arbroath F.C., located on the scenic seafront in Arbroath, Angus. This Scottish Professional Football League stadium has been in use since 1880 and currently offers a capacity of 6,600 for spectators.
The ground is famous for hosting a 36–0 victory against Bon Accord in 1885, which remains a British record score for a senior match. Visitors can appreciate the stadium's unique layout, which was redeveloped in 1925 and features modern upgrades to the main entrance, club shop, and seating stand.
As the stadium sits right on the edge of the North Sea, visitors can experience the dramatic coastal elements while watching a match. Fans can enjoy the game from the seated Gayfield Stand or use the standing terracing that surrounds the pitch, including the East Terrace and the North and South stands.
