Bonnyrigg Rose were promoted to Scottish League Two for the first time in their 140-year history after a 1-0 play-off final second-leg victory over Cowdenbeath.
Robbie Horn's Rose had already established a 3-0 first-leg victory at New Dundas Park, thanks to goals from Sean Brown, Neil Martynuik and Dean Brett.
A second-half penalty from Martynuik rounded off a 4-0 aggregate victory at Central Park on Saturday.
The result means Cowdenbeath - a Championship club as recently as 2015 - are relegated to the Lowland League for the first time since it was established in 2013.
They replace Bonnyrigg, who won the league at a canter after finishing 14 points clear of runners-up Rangers B. The Midlothian-based side finished third and second in the past two seasons respectively and will take their place in the SPFL for the first time as a result.
