About Gorgie
- Tynecastle Park, home of Heart of Midlothian FC since 1886, is one of the most atmospheric football grounds in Scotland. The club, founded in 1874, takes its name from a dance hall on the Royal Mile and has a passionate supporter base drawn from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. The ground's Main Stand, built in 1914, is a Category B listed building and one of the oldest surviving football stands in Scotland.
- Gorgie was historically associated with the cattle market and abattoir industry, and the area's working-class character developed alongside these trades in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Gorgie City Farm, which opened in 1982, continues this agricultural connection and provides an urban farm experience for Edinburgh residents and visitors.
- Saughton Park, on the western edge of Gorgie, contains one of Edinburgh's finest formal gardens, including a restored Victorian bandstand and a rose garden that was originally laid out for the Scottish National Exhibition of 1908. The park underwent a major restoration project in the 2010s and is now one of the most attractive green spaces in west Edinburgh.
