The 2014–15 South of Scotland Football League, is the 69th season of the South of Scotland Football League.
Contents
This season saw the introduction of three new member clubs, including two from the recently defunct Dumfries & District Amateur Football League, Upper Annandale and Dumfries YMCA. Edusport Academy were the additional new entrant.
Wigtown & Bladnoch were the defending champions. This was the first season which the league was added to the Scottish league pyramid at level six, with the winner due to play off against the East of Scotland Football League winner for a place in the 2015–16 Lowland Football League. As Wigtown failed to match the valid licensing, no play-off took place and they remained in the division for the following season.
The championship was successfully retained by Wigtown & Bladnoch, who overhauled long-time leaders Newton Stewart in the remaining weeks of the season, to win their first back-to-back league titles in the history of the club. Confirmation of Wigtown's success came as Newton Stewart were deducted six points for failing to fulfil a fixture at Abbey Vale and Wigtown beat Nithsdale Wanderers 2–0 therefore making it mathematically impossible for Newton Stewart to win the title.
