Founded in 1888,[1] the club has never folded but did merge with Beauly early in the 20th century and won the Camanachd Cup in 1912/13 as the combined team.

2011 saw Lovat play well but never fully extricate themselves from relegation trouble until their final match of the season when a 3–2 win over Kilmallie secured Premier Division shinty for another year.

James Gallacher & John MacRitchie stepped down from their roles as co-managers to be replaced by successful second-team manager Allan MacRae.

[4] Lovat achieved their highest league placing since their glory days winning the North Division One, with a third-place finish in the 2012 Premiership.

They retained the MacTavish Cup in 2014, reinforcing their position as the most successful side in the competition outside the Badenoch giants, Kingussie & Newtonmore, having won the trophy eight times in all.

It was a tight contest and finished 2-1 thanks to a Kevin Bartlett double and an Albert Smith medal winning performance from Stuart MacDonald.

[6] The area had a long tradition of girls playing shinty alongside boys until a certain age, with players leaving the sport.

In the 2010s, local talent was corralled by Gillian Currie and Gemma MacKinnon, two Scotland internationalists who had settled in the area, into a first ever Lovat ladies team.
