Formed on 31 May 1930 as Whitburn Amateurs F.C., they turned Junior over the summer months of 1934.
Nicknamed The Burnie, the club's colours are claret and amber. The club have won the Scottish Junior Cup on one occasion, defeating Johnstone Burgh on penalties in the 1999–00 final.[1]
Whitburn moved to the East of Scotland Football League and joined the bottom tier ahead of the 2021–22 season. They won back-to-back titles in Conference X and then the Second Division[2], followed by a third successive promotion by a securing their spot in the Premier Division for 2024–25.
The team was managed from 2014 to 2016 by former St Mirren boss Tom Hendrie.[3]
