Caley Thistle ended the season by defeating Hamilton Academical 2-1 to finish two points above Stenhousemuir despite having been deducted five points for entering administration last season.
And East Kilbride, who stepped up to the senior leagues for the first time by winning the Lowland League last term, thumped third-place Clyde 5-0 to finish five points clear of Spartans in the fourth tier.
For Caley Thistle, it was revenge for being relegated by Accies after defeat in the Championship play-off final two seasons ago.

Defeat leaves Hamilton, who were themselves deducted 21 points this season for breaking various SPFL rules, facing the play-offs to avoid a second successive relegation. Accies, who finished two points behind East Fife, play Forfar Athletic in the semi-finals.
Without the points penalties, Hamilton would have instead be facing second-top Stenhousemuir in the promotion play-off semi-final.
The part-time Warriors finished two points behind Inverness after a final-day 2-0 win at Montrose.
Stenhousemuir will instead face Queen of the South, who finished 13 points behind, after a 4-1 win over Alloa Athletic that lifted the Dumfries side above their hosts.
Alloa will take on on Airdrieonians, who finished second bottom in the Championship.
Meanwhile, East Kilbride made it two promotions in a row with an emphatic 5-0 win at home to Clyde and will replace Kelty Hearts, who had already been relegated, in the third tier next season.
The South Lanarkshire side finish five points clear of Spartans, who drew 2-2 away to Stirling Albion.
Spartans will face Clyde, who had rested a number of players against East Kilbride in preparation for the promotion play-offs, in the semi-finals.
Forfar warmed up for their meeting with Hamilton by drawing 1-1 away to Annan Athletic and finish fourth, three points clear of Stranraer.
Bottom side Edinburgh City prepared for their Pyramid Play-off final against Highland League champions Brora Rangers with a 5-0 thumping of second-bottom Dumbarton.
Brora received a bye into the final after Lowland League champions Linlithgow Rose were denied a place in the play-off semi-final because they do not possess an appropriate Scottish FA licence.
