Competing in League1 Alberta since its inaugural exhibition season in 2023 using its youth affiliate's moniker Scottish United, the club has also competed continuously in the Alberta Major Soccer League (AMSL) since 1992 – simultaneously fielding reserve squads and adult teams across several leagues within the Edmonton and District Soccer Association (EDSA).

[4] In 2016, Edmonton Scottish completed the amateur domestic treble, capping off an undefeated season by winning the Challenge Trophy to become Canada Soccer national champions for the first time — having previously finished as runners-up in 1992, 2012, and 2015.

[5][6][7] They are eight-time AMSL league winners and thirteen-time provincial champions, capturing the Bennett Shield in 1913 and the Alberta Soccer Challenge Cup a total of twelve times since 1972.

[27] For ticketed matches such as the 2021 Summer Series, the club sets up beer gardens and brings in temporary seating, increasing the capacity to 1,612 spectators.

[28][29] In October 2018, construction was completed on the Edmonton Soccer Dome, a CA$7 million air-supported structure that features a FieldTurf CORE artificial turf playing surface.

[30][31] Located in Grant MacEwan Park, the dome is the club's primary training facility and is occasionally used for matches that may have otherwise been impacted by inclement weather.

For ticketed matches, they are joined by the Clan MacNaughton pipe band, who provide a guard of honour as teams walk onto the pitch.

[39] In 2023, an independent group of ultras called the Highland Herd Crew was founded by Scottish supporters to cheer on its League1 Alberta and AMSL squads.

In the shield's background lays a lion rampant surrounded by 11 thistle, representing the national flower of Scotland and the number of players on a soccer pitch.
