Vale of Leithen F.C.

Vale of Leithen FC is an association football club from the town of Innerleithen, Scotland. They play in the East of Scotland League, and their home games take place at the town's Victoria Park.

The club is one of the oldest in the Scottish Borders having formed in 1891, they became full members of the Scottish Football Association in 1897. The club played at Caddon Park and initially played their first two games as Leithen Vale but subsequently changed their name to "Vale of Leithen Football Club". In 1922 they moved to their current home, Victoria Park.

The team's motto is "KEEP FAITH", and features on their club crest, along with the town's patron saint, St. Ronan. Their home strip features a blue shirt with white sleeves, blue shorts and red socks. Their away strip consists of an all-red kit with white trim on the sleeves, shorts and socks.

As of February 9 2004, the club's new manager is John Diamond, who took over from Willie Hume.

Vale of Leithen should not be confused with the slightly differently named Junior team Vale of Leven.
