Black Watch F.C.
Black Watch F.C. is a British association football club. It is the footballing side of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland (the Black Watch).
As an organized football club, the Black Watch F.C. was founded in 1876. The club's home depended on where the battalion was stationed.
In common with many military football sides in the amateur era, the club entered first-class competitions on a number of occasions. Normally based in Scotland, the club entered the Scottish Cup most years from 1893–94 to 1912–13.
In 1893–94, the club - at the time known as the Second Battalion, Black Watch - won through to the first round of the Cup proper, after only winning one match; the club benefitted from two byes and two draws with Cowlairs, having come from 3–0 down to draw 3–3 in the original tie at Springburn, which meant, under the rules of the competition at the time, both clubs progressed. In the first round the club lost 6–0 at Albion Rovers, 2,000 people attending Whifflet Park for the match.
The club won through the Scottish Qualifying Cup for the only time in 1905–06, reaching the last eight of the qualifying competition at a time when the last 16 were placed in the first round proper. The club was forced to scratch from its final Qualifying Cup replay with Dunblane because an Army Cup tie was due to be held on 8 November and the Scottish Football Association refused to grant an extension of time. In the first round proper the club lost 7–2 at St Mirren.
From 1904 to 1906, and from 1926 to 1929, when the battalion was based in Fort George, the club played in the Highland League.
The club's best season in the Highland League was its first; it finished level on points at the top of the table with Clachnacuddin, but refused to play off for the title because of objections to the referee chosen. In its final season, the club finished bottom.
The battalion was stationed in Perthshire during World War 2, and took part in Perthshire competitions, winning the Perthshire League in 1941–42 and twice winning the Perthshire Cup.
