Scotland’s ‘coldest’ stadium located next to the North Sea named best in the country

The debate over the best stadium in Scottish football has long been a heated one, with opinions often shaped by club loyalties. For Rangers fans, Ibrox is legendary for its iconic European nights, while Celtic Park dazzles with its light displays, and Hampden holds the title of the national stadium.However, according to veteran sports writer Hugh MacDonald, none of these famous venues top the list. MacDonald, who has visited all 41 senior football grounds in Scotland, ranks Gayfield, the home of Arbroath, as the best stadium in the country,Situated just yards from the North Sea, he describes it as being in a “wondrous spot,” offering fans not only a unique atmosphere but also a “fine supporters’ pub with excellent fare and top-class banter.”
