[edit] History

Shinty has been present at Edinburgh University from as early as the 1850’s, but it was not until 1891 that the official University Club was instituted. The foundation of the club is attributed to Hugh Gunn.

In the early days fixtures were scarce and matches against Edinburgh Camanachd and Aberdeen University ensured the Club's survival. The club was set on firmer ground in 1899 with admission into the Camanachd Association when regular entry into the Association's Challenge Cup commenced. With these foundations in place some prominent teams were to emerge over the years. The period 1927 to 1933 is the most notable in the Club's history, the University retaining the Littlejohn Vase for six years in succession. In those days the team was also competing in the Southern League and the Scottish Cup.

After World War II the Club moved to new pitches at Fast Fettes Avenue. The post-war years is one of the few periods when a second team was fielded.

Through the sixties and seventies the club remained strong. In the eighties the club competed in Division Three (South) save for one regrettable year of isolation when fixtures were provided by the Littlejohn Vase. Such a period shows how a University team’s fortunes can fluctuate as the season 1986-87 saw the team narrowly miss promotion, 1987-88 saw relegation to Division Four.

In 1991 the club enjoyed its centenary year in which a grand reunion was organised. Guests of honour included Sorley MacLean who played for the club in the late twenties.

In 2003, the club played its last games of senior shinty with the advent of Summer Shinty, meaning that the University could not field a team through the summer months. Players now return to their home teams or play for local sides Tayforth Camanachd, Edinburgh East Lothian or Aberdour Shinty Club.

Recent years have seen the advent of a successful ladies side, who reached the final of the Camanachd Cup in 2005. Many former female players play for Forth Camanachd.
