One of the sport's most famous clubs, they won the Camanachd Cup four times before World War I.

[1] Founded in 1893, and built on the strength of the men who worked the Ballachulish Slate quarry, the club won the Scottish Cup in 1899, 1901, 1911 and 1912.

The club regained some modicum of strength by winning the Mactavish Cup in 1938, the only South team to ever do so, before war intervened again.

However, Ballachulish has also exported David Campbell to Newtonmore and John MacDonald to Fort William, and is often losing players to other clubs.

[5] The move to the South Division Two initially saw Balla maintain midtable, but the return of several ex-players who had been playing for other teams, such as David Campbell, a Premier League winner with Newtonmore and John MacDonald, a multiple Camanachd Cup winner with Fort William and Scotland internationalist saw Balla win the Sutherland Cup in 2013 and gain a league playoff against Kyles Athletic.
