Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football tournamentThe Highland Amateur Cup is an annual football cup competition run by the Highland Executive branch of the Scottish Amateur Football Association. It also covers various offshore islands. All teams affiliated to Highland Associations are eligible to enter; and so this competition covers one of the largest geographical areas for any district amateur cup competition in the UK.
Currently, the Associations affiliated to the Highland Amateur Cup are:
- Caithness AFA
- North West Sutherland AFA
- Inverness and District FA
- West Highland AFA
- Lewis & Harris FA
- Uist & Barra AFA
- Orkney AFA
Shetland FA clubs are eligible to take part but due to travel distances, have rarely entered the competition.
History
Pentland United are the most successful club, having won the competition eight times.
Western Isles teams
The 1984 tournament was the first time a team from the Western Isles was allowed to enter, and Ness' cup-run culminated in a 4–1 victory over Bishopmill Villa at Victoria Park, Dingwall. Ness have won the competition on three other occasions; 1991, 1992 and 1995.
Back, who also compete in the Lewis and Harris Football League, won the cup in 2004.
Lochs (2003 and 2005) and Point (1994) are the other Lewis and Harris Football League teams to have won the cup, while Stornoway Athletic have been runners-up on two occasions (1990 and 2003). Carloway also finished runners-up in 2014.
