Peebles Rovers Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Peebles, Scottish Borders. Originally founded in 1888 as Greenside Rovers, the club changed their name to Peebles Rovers in May 1890. This is at odds with the official date of 1893 which appears to be based upon what was written in a newspaper article in 1947. They play their home matches at Whitestone Park. The club are members of the East of Scotland Football League, in the seventh tier of the Scottish football league system. They were briefly members of the Scottish Football League, between 1923 and 1926.
