Eastern played in royal blue and scarlet shirts with white shorts, before changing to navy shirts and white shorts in 1877. The club played at Barrowfield Park during the 1870s before moving to Springfield Park in the 1880s.
Eastern F.C. participated in Scottish Cup tournaments between 1873-74 and 1885-86, reaching the quarter-finals on two occasions.
Eastern F.C. finally dissolved in 1885.
During its relatively short time, Eastern provided Scotland with some of its early international players, with John Hunter, Peter Andrews and Sandy Kennedy representing Scotland on a number of occasions.[1]
