Tynecastle Park Hotels & Accommodation

As Edinburgh is such a small city, albeit rather hilly, it’s easy to reach most of its biggest attractions on foot from many of its central neighbourhoods. For those staying further out, there is a quick and easy-to-navigate train system that runs through the city that can bring you into the centre in no time. Therefore, you’ll be able to make the most of your visit wherever you decide to stay,

📍 Where To Stay

Edinburgh Old Town is home to most of the city’s biggest draws, including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile – perfect for those who want to be in the heart of the action. This is also where all of the festivities unfold during the famous Fringe comedy festival.

Edinburgh New Town may not have as many historical landmarks, but it is closer to the train station for easy access around the city and beyond, and the city’s best shops are on its doorstep.

With picturesque Georgian townhouses and a meandering stream, Dean Village offers a tranquil escape from the bustling centre for families. Yet, it’s just a 20 minute walk to the Old Town, and a 15 minute walk to the New Town.

The upmarket Stockbridge is also lined with fancy Georgian townhouses, but as it’s best known for its concentration of cool independent eateries and Sunday outdoor food market, it's most suited to foodies.

Meanwhile, situated on the other side of Edinburgh’s Old Town, Southside, Bruntsfield, and The Meadows are where you’ll find the city’s coolest shops, bars, and clubs.

As Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh is a fairly expensive city to visit, especially during the summer months when it hosts the Fringe festival. In order to avoid being stung by skyrocketing prices, make sure you book your accommodation well in advance of your trip.

About Tynecastle Park

Tynecastle Park, also known as Tynecastle Stadium, is a football stadium located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the home of Heart of Midlothian FC, also known simply as Hearts.

📜 History

The stadium opened in 1886 with a friendly between Hearts and Bolton Wanderers. Hearts, who were formed in 1874, had been playing in Edinburgh's Gorgie area since 1881, but they were forced to vacate their previous site after the pitch was replaced tenements during the city's expansion.

It hosted its first Scotland international match in 1892, and 3 years later it held a "World Championship" match between Hearts and Sunderland, who were the reigning Scottish and English champions respectively in 1895. The Black Cats came out on top, but Hearts won another "World Championship" game against Tottenham Hotspur there in 1902.

The ground was expanded and renovated over the years, becoming the first all-concrete stadium in Scotland in 1954, and it has been further modernised by redevelopment in the 1990s and more recently during the 2016-17 season.
