Ormiston Primrose Football Club is a senior football club based in Ormiston, East Lothian, currently competing in the East of Scotland League Third Division.
The club was founded in 1890 and amalgamated with former East of Scotland League team Pencaitland in 1999.
Ormiston play their home matches at New Recreation Park,[1] which was completed in 2018 (along with a new changing pavilion)[2] as a replacement to the old Recreation Park which stood on adjacent land and closed a year earlier.[3][2] In the intervening period, the club used the Hibernian Training Centre located a short distance to the north of Ormiston.[1] An official partnership with professionals Hibernian had already been arranged in 2014 to strengthen the Edinburgh club's presence in the local area and give Ormiston some practical assistance.[4][5]
