Hutchison Vale Football Club are a senior non-league football club based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Currently competing in the East of Scotland League Premier Division, they play their home matches at Saughton Enclosure in the Saughton area of the city.
History
Founded in 1969 as an amateur works team for Lloyds Finance, they initially played as Lloyds & Scottish prior to renaming themselves Lothian Thistle.
The club originally competed in the Lothian amateur league before a successful spell in the Caledonian Amateur Football League. They then moved up to senior status when they joined the East of Scotland Football League in 1995, gaining promotion to the Premier Division two years later in 1997.
The club is linked with the youth football club Hutchison Vale, and changed their name to Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale before the start of the 2011–12 season to reflect this.
LTHV won the East of Scotland Premier Division title for the first time in the 2013–14 season, repeating this success in the 2014–15 season. They were runners-up in 2015–16 and won the league for the third time in 2016–17, although they did not take part in the play-off for promotion to the Lowland League because they were ineligible for licensing reasons. They narrowly lost out on the 2017–18 title after defeat to Kelty Hearts on the final day of the season.
The club reached the 3rd round of the Scottish Cup in 2017–18 beating League Two side Stirling Albion 5–3 away from home, before losing 1–7 at home to St Mirren. They became SFA members in 2018, allowing them automatic entry into the Scottish Cup.
LTHV gained promotion back to the Premier Division for 2020–21 after winning First Division Conference A in the curtailed 2019–20 season.
The team's colors, traditionally a striking combination of blue and white, reflect their proud Scottish heritage. Lothian Thistle plays its home matches at a well-maintained stadium that serves as a hub for local supporters, creating an electric atmosphere on match days.
Lothian Thistle is recognized for its attacking style of play, characterized by quick passing, dynamic movement, and a relentless pursuit of victory. The club's youth academy is a cornerstone of its philosophy, nurturing young players and providing them with the opportunity to shine on the national stage.
With a focus on teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship, Lothian Thistle has built a reputation as a formidable competitor in both league and cup competitions. The team's dedication to excellence and community engagement makes it a beloved institution in Scottish football, inspiring future generations of players and fans alike.
