Montrose Football Club is a semi-professional Scottish team based in the town of Montrose, Angus. Founded in 1879, it is the 18th oldest association football team still in existence in Scotland. The club is a member of the Scottish Professional Football League and currently competes in Scottish League One, the third tier of the national game.
The club holds a rich history, once featuring players like Alex Keillor and George Bowman, who both earned Scotland caps in the late 19th century. Visitors may find interest in the club’s resilient past, including a "halcyon period" in the 1970s when they reached major cup semi-finals and recorded a record 12–0 victory.
Matches are played at Links Park, where the club has been based since 1887. The ground features a modern artificial pitch, state-of-the-art catering facilities, and a main stand. Depending on the fixture, visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of professional league football, which has previously drawn crowds of over 4,500 people for high-profile games.
