Clachnacuddin Football Club is a part-time, senior Scottish football club based in the city of Inverness, that currently plays in the Highland Football League.
Clachnacuddin have won the most Highland Football League championships in the competition's history: a total of 18. Their home ground is Grant Street Park in the city's Merkinch area. They also have a youth system, with many teams ranging from the primary squads to the under 19s.
The club operates a reserve team in the North Caledonian Football League, which they rejoined in 2022–23 after withdrawing at the start of the 2014–15 season.
They were founded in 1885 and are nicknamed "The Lilywhites" (due to their white strip) or "Clach". Their name is an English approximation of a Scots Gaelic name meaning "the stone of the tub", referring to a city landmark in Inverness.
As a full member of the Scottish FA, they are entitled to enter the Scottish Cup each year.
Clachnacuddin har vunnet flere trofeer gjennom historien, inkludert North of Scotland Cup åtte ganger og Highland League Cup to ganger. De har også vunnet Highland League-tittelen fire ganger, sist i 2018–19-sesongen.
Klubbens kallenavn er "The Lilywhites" på grunn av fargene på hjemmedraktene deres, som er hvite med grønne detaljer. Clachnacuddin har en sterk lokal tilhengerskare og er kjent for sin lidenskapelige støtte.
