The first recorded activity for the club was at the end of the 1896–97 season, under the name Morrisonian F.C., the name taken from Morrison's School in Crieff.

[4] The club sought to join the Perthshire Association for the 1897–98 season, by now called Crieff Morrisonians, but the application was rejected.

The club's greatest achievements were in winning the Perthshire League in 1908–09 and 1910–11, although the competition in the era scarcely had more than half-a-dozen entrants.

[10] Perhaps the club's finest result was a 4–2 win over St Johnstone en route to the 1909–10 County Cup final, although the Saints turned up two men short.

[13] During the match, MacPhail tore his shorts, and, because he lived close to the ground, ran home to change into long trousers.
