Britains worst team? They're not even the worst team in the SHFL at the moment, admin errors aside. 

It is utterly lazy to label them that when within the pyramid is Tweedmouth Rangers, for example (3 double figures houndings already and counting). A very decent Lowland or Highland side would utterly dismantle them. Or Dumfries YMCA (192 conceded in 37 games to their mainly amateur opponents last season).

And that's also ignoring the dross that infests the lower reaches of Junior football.

It would be interesting to see who would come out worst of Fort William, Inverkeithing HS, Tweedmouth and Kirkcaldy YM. I reckon Fort William would be the best of those, though I really couldn't guess who'd be worst.

Cos they were bottom of the East Juniors and hadn't won for a year or so? It's all changed this season though, now second in the East South Division.

Dumfries YM on the other hand yet to turn the corner, albeit their defeats are narrower this season (and they've beat Annan's youth side).

Maybe the worst side in a Senior professional league?

The East and South of Scotland Leagues are both part of the senior pyramid and are professional leagues in that players can be paid to play in them, just as the Juniors are too. The highland League has no more 'professional' status (beyond being higher up) than the first two as far as I'm aware. As the pyramid exists, Fort's label as worst senior side is a misnomer.
