This statue stands in tribute to one of the greatest footballer to play for Rangers and Scotland. He is spoken of in such reverence by Rangers and Scottish fans that I know he was truly a special player. Sadly, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the man play, but it’s good to see this tribute to the great man in lieu. The statue depicts Baxter as he would’ve been at the peak of his powers, with the ball at his left foot and no doubt about to send another opponent the wrong way.

We have visited little world of play on a number of occasions now, our kids love dressing up and role playing in the different areas I.e. Police station,vets,hair salon,builders yard, restaurant, post office and shop as well as the disco area and the stage. They also enjoy playing in the soft play area as well. Fantastic fun and a most enjoyable environment for play. In addition to this they have a cafe with hot food,hot and cold drinks, cakes and sweets & treats for the waiting parents and kids to enjoy. The play area is always clean and tidy well untill the kiddys get hold of it ???? The staff are very friendly and care about safety and individual enjoyment. I have met the manager who is clearly passionate about getting things right and keeping standards up, and it is a joy to watch them develop this amazing place. In my personal opinion this is the very cream of play areas and I would highly recommend a visit. To Note: visits need to be booked online prior to you going this is not a walk in service.

This has to be one of the most unusual football stadiums in Britain with its stock car track running around the outside of the pitch. The Blue Brazil, as they are affectionately known, have been at Central Park for a century. I have been wanting to visit this stadium for some time and was kindly offered an unofficial tour of the ground. Cowdenbeath have had a string of famous managers who have started their careers managing here. Recently, the team have suffered a barren period of footballing success and narrowly avoided three straight relegations by virtue of a penalty shootout win against East Kilbride at the end of the 2016 / 17 season. The stadium is worth a visit as it is full of history and giant blue & white tyres!
