Forfar Albion Junior Football Club are a Scottish football club based in Forfar, Angus. The current club was formed in 1974 following the amalgamation of two existing local sides, Forfar Celtic (est. 1891) and Forfar East End (est. 1881).[1] After one season playing as Forfar East End Celtic, the name Albion was adopted in 1975.
