The grounds of Queens Park Football Club. They are the only fully amateur club in the Scottish Professional leagues. Their ground is Lesser Hampden and has a small stand with about 300 seats which sits next to the national stadium Hampden Park. The amateur status is reflected by its Latin motto, 'Ludere Causa Ludendi' – 'To Play for the Sake of Playing'. It is said that the white building just behind the stand in the image is the oldest building in any football league in the UK to be still be in use by a football club.
