meeting was held in Dumfries Town Hall, with a view to forming a single club to represent the town, perhaps with a view to applying to join the Scottish League. At the meeting, representatives of three clubs in the town - Dumfries, the 5th KOSB, and the works side of the Arrol-Johnston car factory - agreed to merge into a new club, eventually named Queen of the South F.C., and the new club's first meeting took place a week later. Colours The club originally played in black and white shirts; in hoops from 1897 to 1900 and stripes until 1903. The club then played in maroon shirts for the remainder of its existence, with amber facings from 1912 to 1915. Ground The club played at a number of grounds in the town: 1897: Dumfries Cycle Track 1897–98: Palmerston Park 1898–1903: Cresswell Park 1903–1919: Eastfield Park References Defunct football clubs in Scotland Association football clubs established in 1897 Association football clubs disestablished in 1919 1897 establishments in Scotland 1919 disestablishments in Scotland Football clubs in Dumfries and Galloway
