Cathkin Park, Historic stadium in Mount Florida, Glasgow, Scotland

The former football ground retains visible stone terraces and original crush barriers surrounding a grass pitch in an urban green space.

Built in 1884 as the second Hampden Park, the stadium hosted Queen's Park until 1903 and Third Lanark until their closure in 1967.

The grounds witnessed seven Scottish Cup finals between 1885 and 1899, plus regular international trial matches between Home Scots and Anglo-Scots teams.

The park serves as a training ground for local youth teams and community football clubs, with a maintained grass pitch open for public use.

The stadium's remaining terraces could accommodate 50,000 spectators, making it one of Scotland's largest football venues of the 19th century.
