...in England, Premier League to League 2, and Scotland, Premiership to League 2, which are not named after a geographical location.
I believe there are nine definite examples plus one that is arguable. |  |

Heart of Midlothian. Midlothian, one of the Scotish council areas.
Hibernian related to Hibernia, although that orinigally refers to Ireland, then the meaning was expanded,
Notts County, Nottingham, of course. |  |

Queens Park Rangers? |
could the question of the thread be rephrased, perchance?
Went up and down from the PL to League 2 and there is legitimate reason to discount most if not all.
Arsenal (not Arsenal of London or whatever, .. I suppose by that reasoning Hearts would fit. Wolves too then, albeit Wolverhampton, but I'm not sure that's the question or disqualifier, for that matter. | |

The list is as follows;
Arsenal - north London
Port Vale - Burslem, one of the six towns which form the city of Stoke
Heart of Midlothian - named after a dance club and not actually in Midlothian
Hibernian - The Roman name for Ireland
St Johnstone - Perth
St Mirren - Paisley. St Mirin founded a church there(or something)
Queen of the South - Dumfries
Raith Rovers - Kirkcaldy
Albion Rovers - Coatbridge
Clyde is arguable. It is in the town of Cumbernauld but I think it is on the Clyde. [Post edited 29 May 2014 16:41]

I think you'll find that Hearts and Queen of the South are named after two novels by Walter Scott. |  | | |

The town of Dumfries has been known as The Queen of the South since 1857 when local poet and prospective parliamentary candidate David Dunbar referred to the town as such during one of his speeches.
Heart of Midlothian FC was formed by members of Heart of Midlothian Dancing Club. | |
