Old Scotch first joined the VAFA in 1894 as “Scotch Collegians” together with three other clubs, none of whom are still competing today. The club disbanded at the conclusion of the 1895 season.

Old Scotch rejoined the VAFA in 1921 as the “Old Scotch Collegians Football Club”, and with the exception of the five years of the Second World War, has competed continuously in the VAFA since that year.
