'''Lochside Park''' is a cricket ground in Forfar, Scotland. The ground has been used for cricket since at least 1873. In the latter part of the 20th century the ground was used to host matches for the Scotland national team and its reserve sides, the first of these being in 1984 when Scotland B played Durham University.<ref name="OTH">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/24/484_misc.html|title=Other matches played on Lochside Park, Forfar|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=19 October 2011}}</ref>
