Taynuilt Shinty Club is a shinty team based in Taynuilt, Scotland. The club has existed in several different forms most recently in junior form but has reformed and is competing in the South Division Two in 2008.

History

Taynuilt has a history of abeyance although the sport has strong historical roots in the area. The first known Taynuilt side competed in the Sutherland Cup in 1935. A Taynuilt side was also active in the 1970s and 1980s but went into abeyance at senior level in 1990.

The club has been linked at Junior level with Glenorchy Camanachd in recent years but has decided to go out on its own.

The village shinty pitch has been used several times as a completely neutral venue for semi-finals and finals.

Gary Innes appeared in a Taynuilt top at Runrig’s Beat the Drum concert in 2007 wearing a Taynuilt strip as on the cover of the album Everything You See, Innes’ Fort William strip was altered to Taynuilt colours to match the colour scheme of the album artwork and because the photographer, Steven MacKenzie played shinty for an incarnation of Taynuilt.

Taynuilt has made a strong start to the team's comeback season, including a 4-0 defeat of Bute Shinty Club.
