Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic F.C.

Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic Football Club is a Scottish football club from the town of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. Formed in 1881 and nicknamed the Rose, the team plays in the Lowland Football League, having been promoted after winning the East of Scotland Football League and gaining Scottish Football Association membership in June 2019.

Their home ground is New Dundas Park, and they have traditionally played in red and white hoops. They have won the Scottish Junior Cup twice, in 1966 and in 1978, as well as finishing runners-up in 1972. Their 6–1 defeat of Whitburn in 1966 is a joint record margin of victory in a Scottish Junior Cup final. Bonnyrigg won the East Region Super League championship four times during their membership, making them the league's most successful side.

At a special general meeting held in March 2018, the club's members voted in favour of applying to join the East of Scotland Football League. Bonnyrigg were part of a larger movement of eastern junior clubs to the East of Scotland Football League in 2018.

Scottish Cup
Bonnyrigg have qualified to enter the senior Scottish Cup by winning the East Superleague on four occasions.

In their first campaign in 2009-10, Bonnyrigg lost in their opening tie to Highland Football League club Fraserburgh. Better results were achieved in 2012-13, losing to SFL Second Division side Brechin City in a third round replay after wins over Girvan and Stirling University.

The third Scottish Cup adventure in 2016-17 was their most fruitful. Rose easily saw off Glasgow University and then defeated Burntisland Shipyard 14-0, the biggest win in the competition since 1984. This was followed by wins over Highland sides Turriff United and Cove Rangers. In a big shock, Bonnyrigg then eliminated Dumbarton of the Scottish Championship after a replay to progress to the Fourth Round. They were drawn at home against the cup holders Hibernian, with the match moved to Tynecastle Stadium in Edinburgh to accommodate the expected number of spectators and the basic facilities at New Dundas Park.The result, an 8-1 defeat, was a disappointing end to the run for the team and the 5000 fans who had travelled from Midlothian to give their support.

Now playing as a senior club, 2018-19 saw the club again qualify for the Scottish Cup after winning the East Superleague for a record fourth time. This campaign ultimately ended in disappointment, losing 2-1 to Deveronvale in the first round.
