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 theCamanachd Cup ) in2007 . [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 ofEdinburgh East Lothian in 2007. Forth plays upon EEL's old ground in Musselburgh.The club should not be confused with
