Outwith the three ‘senior’ leagues in the non-league grade, are the ‘junior’ leagues. Although called junior, this refers to the level of football played, not the age of the participants. The junior leagues are organised by the Scottish Junior Football Association and are regionalised into three areas, North, East and West. There is a Scottish Junior Cup which all members of the association participate in, having done so since the Nineteenth Century.
Junior clubs, unlike those in the senior non-league level, are not eligible to participate in the Scottish Cup, although there are suggestions that this should change. There is one exception to this rule, and that is Girvan F.C. who do participate in the Scottish Qualifying Cup (South), but this is by virtue of the fact that they opted to switch from the senior level to the junior level, but still retaining this right to attempt to qualify.
