St Bernards, is a Scottish League football club based in Edinburgh which was a member of the League from 1893 to 1939.  The club was formed in 1878 taking their name from St Bernard’s Well in the district of Stockbridge.  In 1895, St Bernard’s beat Renton to win the Scottish Cup. This proved to be the high water mark for the club: when their best players were tempted away to join professional teams in England and Glasgow, they were unable to build on this early success and in 1900 they lost their place in the First Division, never to regain it.  Although St Bernard's won the Second Division at the first attempt, they were not elected to the First Division by the other clubs.The decisive disaster for the club came in 1903, when their financial benefactor William Lapsley was killed when his cab crashed after the horse bolted. In 1907 they won the Second Division again, but failed to gain election once again. In 1915, the club finished joint top once more along with Cowdenbeath and Leith Athletic, but again lost out in two test matches (neither of whom were promoted in any case). In 1939, The Scottish League closed down with the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1943 the club suffered a financial crisis. With no source of income or capital, St Bernard’s had no alternative but to sell off their remaining assets and the club ceased to exist.  In 1949 the name of St Bernard's was revived with the formation of a youth team, which has survived and expanded to this day.
