The Highland League was created in 1893. Nowadays it can be said to be part of 5th level although it operates outside of the professional Scottish league system and there is no regular promotion and relegation to and from it. The table has been compiled via RSSSF and Wikipedia tables. You are free to copy this document in a non-commercial capacity but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning. PA = Point alterations.
