About us

Our background

The club was started in 2011 by highly respected coaches Sean Walton and Keith Cook as a pathway for young fencers moving on from plastic fencing. Their vision was to provide an environment and structure which bolstered confidence, encouraged healthy and physically active lives and developed participants skills for life, not just for fencing.

The club is now one of the largest and most successful clubs in Scotland, creating an environment of fun, development and learning for all our members. Whilst the club has a high proportion of junior fencers, it currently has members aged 8-68 competing at junior, senior and veterans level alongside participants simply enjoying learning a new skill and making new friends.

Swordmark Superclub

We are accredited by Scottish Fencing – one of only 2 clubs awarded Superclub Status in the first round of awards in December 2017. Swordmark is Scottish Fencing’s Club Accreditation scheme, which has been created to support clubs and empower them to master their chosen environment.
