This was the first season in which promotion to Scottish League Two was introduced, with the champions taking part in the pyramid play-off against the Highland League champions and the winner then playing the bottom side in League Two.

Edinburgh City won their first league title on 20 March 2015 after nearest rivals Whitehill Welfare lost at East Kilbride. As a result, they faced the winners of the 2014–15 Highland Football League (Brora Rangers) in the semi-finals of the League Two play-offs, losing on penalties after drawing 2-2 on aggregate and therefore remained in the Lowland League.
