Balmoor Stadium, Football stadium in Peterhead, Scotland.
Balmoor Stadium is a football ground in Peterhead with two main stands positioned along the sidelines and open standing areas behind each goal. The venue accommodates around 3,150 spectators in a straightforward layout designed for match viewing.
The ground opened in 1997 following the sale of the previous home, Recreation Park, to a retail company. This move gave the club a new base and allowed it to continue playing in the local community.
The stadium serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together on match days to support their team and share the experience. It reflects how football remains central to life in this coastal town, bringing people together around a shared passion.
The site is located about 50 kilometers from Aberdeen and is best reached by car, as it sits quite far from the nearest train station. Visitors should allow adequate travel time when planning to attend a match.
The ground holds a distinctive position in British football as the senior league stadium sitting furthest from any railway station in the country. This isolation means it attracts only the most dedicated supporters who make the journey.
