Dunbar United F.C.
They play in a black & white home strip, and a blue away strip, and the team nickname is "The Seasiders".
They play at the 2500 capacity New Countess Park, part of the Hallhill Centre, that they share with many of the town's sports clubs, including the Dunbar Colts, and Dunbar Rugby Club. Their home matches are amongst the best attended in their league, especially against their local derby rivals Haddington and Tranent Juniors.
Although Dunbar United formed officially in 1925, their history can be traced back as far as 1880, when a team called Dunbar FC played Aberlady in a friendly. Over the intervening years, a number of Dunbar clubs were formed and disappeared almost as quickly, with fabulous names like Dunbar Bluebell, Dunbar Thistle, Dunbar Britannia, Dunbar Castle, Dunbar Star and Dunbar Comrades. All of these threads came together in 1924 when a juvenile club called Dunbar United were formed, but a year later their committee decided that they were ready fot the step up to Junior football, and they joined the Berwickshire Junior League.
Since then, this great club from the lovely seaside town of Dunbar in East Lothian, just 28 miles to the east of Edinburgh, has won the Edinburgh & District League twice, the East Region Division Two three times and the East Region Cup another three times. But their biggest honour came when they won the prestigious and hard-to-win Scottish Junior Cup in 1961.
