Think it used to translate as sheep grazing rights to everyone in the vicinity. And maybe stilll does.

And by the way - often referred to by Hibbies past and present just as 'The Hole'.....not like our dear green place.

maybe the pub team ground is named after the Tynecastle Arms :greengrin

1st mention of Tynecastle in the Scotsman archives is 29-3-1834 referring to Tynecastle Toll. The 2nd reference is on 4-8-1838 and is maybe more relevant :greengrin

Well, there are some interesting suggestions on here. There is also this one:


From ancient toll of that name, o.& n.e. ii. 218. Kirkwood. Tynecastle, part of the estate of Merchiston, feued by the late John Alison from governors of George Watson's Hospital, who built house, circa 1793, eec.j.s. 30 June 1801. Mentioned in v.r. 41. Tynecastle Toll, m.t.c. 17/7/1816, 14/1/1834. Possibly derived by gaelic Tigh-na-caistel, or Tigh-an-chaisteil, meaning the castle near that place.
