Ochilview
17 minute walk from Larbert station · Stirling, Central and Fife
Ochilview Park is the historic home ground of Stenhousemuir FC. Established in 1890, this atmospheric football stadium has a capacity of 3,746 and serves as a significant community hub, even featuring FIFA-approved synthetic surfaces for local use.
The ground holds a special place in sporting history as the venue for the first-ever floodlit match in Scotland in 1951. Its unique identity is enriched by the "Norway Stand," named after the club’s Norwegian supporters. The stadium's name itself is inspired by the scenic Ochil Hills, which provide a beautiful backdrop visible from the stands.
Visitors can enjoy a match from the 626-seat main stand or the covered terracing at the Tryst Road end. As you soak in the game, look for the two external staircases on the site of the old stand—a quirky architectural fix from 1928 that has become part of local club folklore.
