The club has a storied history, having won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1993 and 2017. Their success reached a peak in the 1990s under former Scotland goalkeeper Alan Rough, leading to a memorable treble. The club is also notable for participating in the first-ever all-Ayrshire final at Hampden Park.
