Bo'ness United F.C. are a football (soccer) club, based in the town of Bo'ness, Scotland. They play at the junior grade of football, in the East region. Nicknamed the B.U.'s, they were formed in 1945, at the end of the Second World War when Bo'ness F.C., a club that had played in the senior ranks, being a member of the Scottish Football League from 1921 to 1932 merged with the junior club Bo'ness Cadora F.C.. They presently play their home games at Newtown Park, which has room for around 7,500 spectators and has been used as a football ground since the 1880s. They wear blue strips (uniforms).
