There have been a
number of competitions that have gone by the name Eastern League.
In 1903, several clubs
were concerned about the future of the Central
Combination. A proposal by Bathgate to form a new league was taken up at a
meeting in Glasgow and the Midland
League was formed. This league was unsuccessful so another attempt was made
at the Eastern League. Nine sides formed the new competition on 6 Aug 1904,
although Hearts of Beath were replaced by Heart of Midlothian 'A' who ran away
with the title. Early in the following season, the Scottish Alliance was reformed. Bo'ness, Broxburn and Broxburn
Shamrock who were still Eastern League members left for this league. The
Eastern League soldiered on for one more season but it was very much the poor
relation and was disbanded in 1907.
In 1912, the Northern League lost several of its
principal clubs to other leagues, and attempted to re-form as the North Eastern League with clubs from
the Lothians and Borders. This fell through however and instead an Eastern League was re-formed without
the Angus clubs. This lasted for two years when it subsequently disbanded
because of the War.
After the outbreak of War in 1914, the Scottish League continued with a full
programme of fixtures for both of its divisions but in 1915 it decided to
suspend the Second Division but allowed its members to form two regional
leagues; West of Scotland and Eastern. With the addition of five
non-League clubs, a twelve team league was organized. Leith and Kirkcaldy
United both dropped out after this season, with the latter disbanding
completely. By 1917 the league had been reduced to five clubs. Dundee and Raith
Rovers, after leaving the Scottish League to reduce travelling costs, joined
and the seven clubs played each other four times in the 1917-18 season. The
league then broke up for a year before restarting in 1919. The Eastern League
continued until 1923 when it disbanded after Brechin City, Clackmannan and Montrose
all helped to form the Third Division of the Scottish League. The league also
ran an Eastern Cup competition for a
number of years.
The name had also been simultaneously used in
1921-22 for a league that was composed of Edinburgh and Border amateur clubs
and was the forerunner of the East of
Scotland League.

Sep East Fife v Raith was played at Kirkcaldy
23
Mar Armadale v Cowdenbeath 2-0 abandoned after Birrell of Cowdenbeath was
attacked as he left the field after 73 mins. Armadale's ground was closed by
the Scottish FA from 8 April to 1 May 1918 in response to this, and could
explain why their fixtures were incomplete.
