Culter made an impressive start in the Junior FA and gaining promotion at the end of their first season 1987/88 as runners-up in Division One. Culter also won the Archibald Cup that debut season. In 1988/89 Culter won the McLeman Cup and in their most successful season, 1989/90 won three cups- the North Regional Cup, Aberdeen Cable TV League Cup and the Archibald Cup. In 1992/93 Culter had another good season, winning the Aberdeen Cable TV Cup and the McLeman Cup. Culter made a bad start to the Season in 1999/2000 and the appointment of new Team Manager Bobby Gray came too late to save them from relegation but the season ended on a high note when underdogs Culter beat Formartine United to win the prestigious North Regional Cup. Culter were restored to Premier Division status at the first attempt by winning the First Division Championship in 2000/2001 Season and ended in style by beating the Premier Division Champions Longside in two cup Finals to win the Camstruction Trophy (McLeman Cup) and the Jimmy Gibb Trophy.

In 1998 Culter’s President Doug Jamieson was instrumental in obtaining rich rewards from the Scottish Sports Council Lottery Fund (£31,700) and from the Football Trust (£15,000) towards the redevelopment of Crombie Park with the remainder  being raised by Culter FC. The two-fronted target was achieved by widening the existing playing surface and building a new all grass training facility. The facility is used for the Club’s own training purposes and is let out to benefit other local clubs in Culter.
