History


Their unusual name is variously stated to come from the town's Mechanics Institute or most likely when a group of craftsmen or mechanics split from an earlier Forres team to form their own club.[3] Forres Mechanics have won the Highland league twice: in the 1985–86 season and in the 2011–12 season.[4]

On 26 November 2016, Forres Mechanics played their most high-profile match in recent years when they held League One side Stenhousemuir to a 2–2 draw in 2016–17 Scottish Cup, however they lost 3–1 in the replay.

Forres withdrew from the Highland League in the 202021 season, which was greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.[5]
