And when you are done looking at this site for the Scots input on football world-wide, here are two more.
For those who literally want to trace on the ground the local development of Scots and Scottish football in our own and other countries there is the newly available and ever-expanding site of:
The Scots Football Historians' Group
And on Scottish sports history in general but inevitably including fitba', see Andy Mitchell's inestimable:
Quite simply Peter McWilliam has been ignored and neglected by the club, Tottenham Hotspur, which without him may just have been a contender under John Cameron's brief stewardship showing potential but nothing much more, by Arsenal even though he continued and maintained the Chapman legacy, by World football for his fundamental contributions to its thinking, from off-side, to club organisation, to youth development in the game worldwide, to tactics on and off the field, and last and certainly not least by his country. The is no Peter McWilliam in the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. There is no plaque on the wall of the house he grew up in Inverness or the ones he lived in in London or the one he died in in Redcar. There is in India a part of a town where buildings carry his name, or rather his name he gave to his son, and where that son's contribution to football on the Sub-Continent is still recognised but in Britain, and most shamefully in Scotland there is nothing. It is a wrong I hope to right with a biography, posted chapter by chapter.
