Architecture Notes

Architect for redevelopment: James Clydesdale

Engineers for redevelopment: Cundall Johnston & Partners

Tynecastle Stadium, Edinburgh, has been the home of Hearts Football Club for over 100 years.

The club redeveloped at Tynecastle after four unsuccessful attempts to secure planning permission

for redevelopment on the periphery of the city. The stadium redevelopment proposals for Tynecastle

show a capacity of around 19,000 seats.

Prospect, Summer 1995

Standing Building Recording (12 December 2016 - 19 December 2016)

NT 23111 72459 A historic building survey was undertaken, 13 – 19 December 2016, of the main stand to the E side of Tynecastle Football Ground, prior to its replacement with a new stand.

The stand was built in 1914 and designed by Archibald Leitch, the great pioneer and engineer of football stadiums in the first half of the 20th century. It was originally built as standing room only (seating was not a legal requirement in the UK until the 1990s). Built largely in brick with a steel superstructure, the canopy is supported by an array of columns in front of the seating area and has a number of brick concourses allowing access to the terraces, and exposing the steel structural work to the external E interior wall. The stand has undergone many changes within its ground- and first-floor rooms, including the addition of new partitions and upgrading of the facilities, but some original features remained, such as the turnstiles to the main E entrances, which have survived in remarkably good condition.
