Whitehaugh Oval is a cricket ground in Paisley, Renfrewshire. This has been the home ground of Kelburne Cricket Club since their previous ground at Blackhall was lost to development in 1898. The new ground was opened with a match against West of Scotland on 29 April 1899.[1][2]
The first Scotland match held on the ground came in 1947 when they played a minor match against the touring South Africans.[3] Scotland first played a first-class match there in 1952 against Ireland. The ground held five further first-class matches, the last of which saw Scotland play Ireland in 1960. Other teams to visit in first-class matches included Lancashire, Yorkshire and the touring Indians.[4]
