The City of Edinburgh Kings are a basketball team based in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. They compete in Division 1 of the Scottish Men's National League, the highest level in Scotland and the second highest in the United Kingdom, behind the professional British Basketball League.

History

The club was founded in 1988 when the successful junior teams of Portobello and Wester Hailes combined to enter the senior men’s national league. Portobello BC had evolved from the Portobello Old Parish Church Youth Club (POPYC) of the 1960s. In the early 1970s Portobello BC based itself at Portobello High School. The arrival of Toni Szifris, whose father Boris virtually founded the sport in the East of Scotland, as head of PE at Portobello High School was a catalyst for the renaissance of the club which went from strength to strength thanks to a committed youth-development policy.

Record in BBL Competitions

In 2006/07, 2011/12 and 2012/13, the Kings competed in the BBL Trophy as invitees, exiting at the First Round.
