Balmoor Stadium, Football stadium in Peterhead, Scotland.
Balmoor Stadium is a football ground in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, serving as the home of Peterhead FC. It has two covered stands running along the touchlines and open terracing behind each goal.
Peterhead FC previously played at Recreation Park, which was sold to a retailer in the 1990s. The club then built Balmoor Stadium and moved in during 1997, giving it a permanent new home.
The stadium sits in Peterhead, a fishing town on the North Sea coast, and on match days the ground fills with locals who follow the club closely. Football has been part of everyday life here for generations, and the atmosphere around the stands reflects that long connection.
The stadium is in Peterhead in the north of Aberdeenshire, and driving is the most practical way to get there since the nearest train station is far away. Those coming from Aberdeen should allow plenty of time for the journey.
Balmoor Stadium is considered the senior league ground in Britain that sits furthest from any railway station, making it one of the most out of the way football venues in the country. This means that almost everyone who attends a match has made a deliberate effort to be there.
