Only members of the Scottish League are allowed to enter the Scottish Cup directly, the remaining clubs have to qualify via the Scottish Qualifying Cup. Until 1930 there was a single nationwide tournament, since then there has been regional tournaments. Currently there are seperate cups for the North and South with the 4 semi-finalists from each tournament qualifying for the Scottish Cup.

In 1955 the Qualifying Cups were abandoned and all clubs entered an extended Scottish Cup competition directly, with league clubs exempt until the later rounds. To replace the qualifying tournaments the Scottish Supplementary Cup (North) and (South) tournaments were introduced. These lasted for three seasons before the Qualifying Cups were reintroduced.
