Forth Camanachd is a shinty club based in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland. The club fields a side in the National Women's League and currently hold the Valerie Fraser Cup.

History

The club grew out of the successful Edinburgh University sides of the early 2000s and was founded in 2006. The club did not have long to wait to garner serious success and won the Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup, (the female equivalent of the Camanachd Cup) in 2007. [http://www.womens-shinty.com/]

The team's catchment area includes Fife and Tayside as well, although there is also a women's team in Linlithgow.

At present there is no male team representing Edinburgh in national shinty due to the collapse of Edinburgh East Lothian in 2007. Forth plays upon EEL's old ground in Musselburgh.

The club should not be confused with Tayforth Camanachd, the men's team that plays its games in Perth.
