Established in 1973, Tayforth Camanachd has provided shinty opportunities for players moving down from the north of Scotland and Irish hurlers based in Edinburgh for the past half century.
Founded by Barry Nesbitt and the “shinty priest” Fr. Eugene O’Sullivan, the club thrived in Perth for 36 years before moving to Musselburgh and finally to South Edinburgh in 2019.
Notable alumni who played with Tayforth include Hugh O’Kane, Orston Gardiner, Rory Fraser, and Willie Dowds.
