Heriot-Watt University F.C. is a football club whose First Team plays in the East of Scotland Football League. The Club was founded around 1945 as Heriot-Watt College F.C. After Heriot-Watt became a university and moved most of its activity to its new campus at Riccarton, to the west of Edinburgh (a move which was substantially completed by 1971), the Club, now named Heriot-Watt University F.C., applied to join the East of Scotland Football Association and League.
