Musselburgh Athletic FC: The club is a Scottish Junior Football Club based in the town of Musselburgh, East Lothian. It was formed in 1934 so the medal for sale will be one of the earliest won by the club. They were members of the Lothian Junior League but presently compete in the East Region of Scottish Junior Football of which they, along with all junior clubs, became a part in 2002.

Summary: As can be seen from the photos and history (above) this is a very collectable medal. Good luck with bidding!
