In 2016, the ladies won the All-British Junior Final after being runners-up in 2015. The ladies made history in 2016 by winning their first ever Scottish Senior League Title. In 2016, the ladies were also victorious against the European Champions, Belgium GAA, and advanced to the All-Ireland Quarter Final against Dublin's St. Maurs. The Junior Men made history with their first ever league and championship titles in 2016, defeating Dunedin Connollys on both occasions. The following year the juniors achieved a double winning the League and Championship in 2017, defeating Connollys and Dalriada respectively. They retained the junior championship in 2022. They are currently associated with Glasgow University GAA and Stirling University GAA. They have also been featured on Joe.ie's "80 clubs around the World" in 2016.
