History Although officially formed in 1889, there are no newspaper reports of a club by this name until 1898 giving rise to the notion that the original date could either be speculation or is a misprinted date that has been subsequently used as fact. In 1916 the club closed down and was effectively defunct until it was re-formed in July 1923. Their home games have been played, since 1949, at Prestonfield. With a current maximum capacity of 2,264 spectators (301 seated), the record attendance at the ground is 3,626 for a game against Petershill.
