Superb museum. Davy Allen is so informative as a curator. Really takes time to explain the exhibits. Each case tells a story and the exhibit cases are not overly crammed full of such as can be the case in museums. I thought the recent exhibit on the old Tollbooth and its place in club history including the original lock and key was especially fascinating. Hadn't been here in several years; won't leave it so long until next time. No tickets are needed; it's free but a donation can be given. Ring the museum buzzer and wait to be let in.

Jumped off bus this morning and decided it was time for a visit to gorgie road .Huge thanks to Neil , who saw me taking photos from the outside of the stadium and asked if I wanted to see memorial garden inside and kindly allowed me to take photos off ground and garden
HFC , give that man a pay rise ,
Great ambassador for your club

We visited for the museum experience before the Killie game and despite the result we had a great day with informative staff to answer any questions and is a must for any Jambo fan .We were well fed and good choice of beer and wines before the game and a couple of extra drinks after while watching results coming in on the big screen ,Special thanks to all staff for making us welcome and looking after us through the time there.

A must for all Hearts supporters, steeped in the wonderful history of Heart of Midlothian ❤️ Photo taken with the winning football from 1998 Cup Final v Rangers when Cameron and Adam scored.

Had the pleasure of fine dining in the brilliant surroundings of the museum. The history of the club exhibits are so interesting that in between courses you just had to go look at them. Well worth a visit,

Heart of Midlothian Heritage Trail Tour

Had the opportunity to attended the tour last Sunday. Our tour guide was Jim.

Thank you for a informative and detailed tour, that only would be that amazing when it has the personal touch of a person running it.
NEVER AUTOMATE THIS..
It's the personal touch that bought it to another level.

The information was at a great pace and so heart felt, passionate is the word I would use to desribe it.

After the tour, we had light refreshments at the museum and were also joined by another volunteer Neil, together with Jim the information and the trip down memory lane continued.

Neil spent a great amount of time showing us around the museum and showcasing his knowledge about the scores and outcome of each game my partner had attended as a youngster. We named the year and opposition he told us the score! Neil you made it a day to remember. ☺

The gents that volunteer here are amazing.

All Hearts fans, you need to do this, or any lover of sport would be touched by the amazing history of this club, truly the Heart of Edinburgh.
Jim Givan
We went on the heritage trail last Sunday with Jim as tour guide for the day. A warm welcome inside reception and details of what to expect then on the bus for a very informative tour around Edinburgh and an insight about McCreas battalion,finishing back at the museum for refreshments where we were joined by Neil for some more history. We would recommend this trip for all Hearts fans out there as a must do. Finaly a masive thank you to Neil whe went above and beyond the call of duty for a couple of fans from Australia
Leonard Nodaros
Fantastic, compact, and very historic stadium. Very knowledgeable curators. The museum is purpose built, not too big, and definately worth a visit for any football fan
