Interestingly they are, by my reckoning, only the 2nd senior club called "Swifts" since Victorian times - the other being Lincluden Swifts who played in SOSL during 1960s & 1970s. Of course a famous team in the early decades of football were Mossend Swifts: based out of West Calder in Linlithgowshire they had players capped for Scotland, twice won the EOS Shield and beat Hibs and Motherwell in the Scottish Cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course to be pedantic in the 1890s Mossend Swifts were a Midlothian team rather than a West Lothian team as they would be today. They did enter the Linlithgowshire Cup though to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
