Home colours

Dykehead Football Club was a football club based in the Dykehead area of Shotts, playing their home games at Parkside.^[1] The club were members of the Scottish Football League Third Division.

The early history of the club is somewhat shrouded in mystery, although they were formed in 1880 but did not register with the Scottish Football Association until four years later. The club briefly competed in the Scottish Football Alliance, as well as the Eastern Football League, the Inter County Football League and the Scottish Football Union, which they won in 1912–13.

They eventually ended up in the Western League, which was incorporated by the Scottish Football League as its new Third Division for the 1923–24 season. Dykehead lasted the Division's three seasons, finishing 5th, 12th and 4th, but were not retained by the League. They continued until 1928 when they were wound up.

They played their home games at Dykehead Park, Youngston Park, Craigmillar Park and Parkside. Their colours were black and white.
