History
Fort William F.C. is one of the youngest members of the Highland Football League, joining in 1985, only a just over a decade after the club was founded. The clubs first ever Highland League match at Claggan Park was against Clachnacuddin of Inverness and resulted in the club's first league goal in a 1–0 win. The record attendance at ground came a few months later in early January 1986 when 1,500 spectators watched the club take on Stirling Albion in the second round of the Scottish Cup. The match ended in a 0–0 draw but Fort William were thrashed 6–0 in the replay at Annfield Stadium in Stirling a week later.
