After the reformation of the club in 1977, the club also formed a second team which took the name Furnace, one of the most famous names in shinty. Furnace won the Camanachd Cup in 1923 without conceding a goal to any team, they then joined with Inveraray as Lochfyneside to win the Camanachd in 1949 and 1953.
