History

A club called Glengarry played against Fort Augustus in 1882 and was active in the 1930s. However in 1948 the club amalgamated with Fort Augustus and became Inveroich. The club was reconstituted as Glengarry in 1976 and has continued to this day. The club have won the Balliemore Cup in 1985, 1988 and 1989 and also reached the final of the Valerie Fraser Cup in 1990 and 1991.

The men's team now competes in North Division Two, a decision taken to drop a division with the move to summer shinty which the club opposed.

Craigard park is a popular venue for Semifinals and Juvenile Finals.

The Ladies shinty team is considered the most successful in the history of the game, the club has won more Valerie Fraser trophies since the trophy became a ladies trophy than any other side.
