The Glasgow University Shinty Club was founded at the University of Glasgow , Scotland in 1901 by Angus MacVicar, Murdo Mackenzie and Murdo MacRae, with MacVicar as the first team captain. It entered League competition between 1906 and 1908 and played on the pitch of the Glasgow Skye Shinty Club until 1909 , after which it played at the Glasgow Cowal Club pitch at Possilpark, Glasgow.
