History
editThere have been other clubs with the name Oban Lorn in existence before. A previous Oban Lorn Athletic won the Glasgow Celtic Society Cup in 1955.[1]
In 2014, Lorn Ladies began, but there is no official connection between the two clubs.
Lorn was the third men's club in Oban, joining Oban Camanachd and Oban Celtic in the league. They performed admirably in their maiden season finishing 5th. They continued to improve finishing third in 2016 and 2017. However, the club became Oban Celtic's second team in 2018, with the Lorn name going into abeyance.
