Tynecastle Park, colloquially known as Tynie, is a football stadium located in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh. It serves as the home ground for Heart of Midlothian FC, who have played at this site since 1886. As a UEFA category four stadium with a seating capacity of 19,852, it stands as the sixth-largest football venue in Scotland.
The ground is rich in history, having hosted "World Championship" matches in 1895 and 1902, as well as numerous international fixtures. Visitors can see the modern Main Stand, rebuilt in 2017, alongside three other stands constructed in the 1990s that feature distinctive steel tube goalpost roof structures.
Today, fans can experience the atmosphere of Scottish Professional Football League matches or international games. Beyond the pitch, the facility includes the Gorgie Suite, a club shop, and a ticket office. The stadium's unique design features support towers situated close to the corner flags, with floodlights angled toward the pitch like concert lighting rigs.
