[telfordhibby]

Royston......

[GTMRossaK3]

Balmacara & Kintail in West Highlands near Skye.

My Dad played a lot of football so my brother and I ( probably 4 at the time ) decided we should choose a team to support. As he was the elder of the two of us my brother got first pick and took the team sitting top of the league - Partick Thistle! ( well it was 1955!! ). I chose the team sitting second top - Hibs! ( it was 1955 after all! ). Once PT started slippng down the league over the next few years my brother jumped ship and switched to Celtic but I'm proud to say I've stuck with the mighty Hibernian ever since!

[Bobo]

Fernieside Cres was slightly more Hibby, but moved to Moredunvale in 1970 and almost the whole street and surrounding ones were Hibbies.

Appropriately, I stayed in the "Green".
Just looked on Google maps!!!! where is the school? the 5 minute bell..

Aye, the Moredun school was demolished a fairly long time ago. My bedroom in the View used to look right onto the big clock.

The sheds with their big stone goalposts were great for fitba' 'nets' - and you could get a mini game of knockout or shapes inside them if it was raining.


Used to go to see Hibs as a young teenager in the 70's with a few guys who stayed at the bottom end of the Moredunvales like the Green, Loan, Way..

He was my brother's art teacher at Musselburgh Grammar school.

I was born and bred in Musselburgh, "the Burgh that was a Burgh when Edinburgh was nane"

[HibsNZ]

Is there a prize for being born the furthest away from Easter Rd?

[Billy McKirdy]

Wardieburn then on the ramps of West Granton.





Best playground in Edinburgh before being demolished. :greengrin:

Best thread ever, was talking recently about ramps, bins (shoots), The landings, verandas (oooooooooh Virandas), the yards, pensioners landing, the back shops, divernoes (not sure about spelling) kibbys (again spelling) Burrell’s and Dreeping, as in "a canne jump it but a kin dreep it"

I swear I can hear hovis music :confused:

[Roxyhibee]

The cres was a great street and as you say good families. We used to play a lot of fitbaw next to the "Tinny" . There used to be a lassie played wi us who was no a bad player, last I heard she was a fitbaw coach in America. Oh and I used to spend ma summer holidays in moredun ...trekking along the burn and hunting for golf baws, nae x boxes in those days ...in fact I think the Atari was still to emerge :greengrin

Yes, spent a lot of time down at Nickys burn too. But seemed a long way from Fernieside and you had to watch out for locals.

House was next door to bookies and Fernieside Inn. We used to play fitba in the lane and wait on the half drunk merry men coming out who all wanted a kick of the ball to show their Denis Law 'skills'. The ball usually ended up in someones garden but we used to get a lot of ha'pennies and pennies from them, so it was usually worth having to get it back.!

The slope in that lane was steeper than Easter Road.!

Has to be the old Oxgangs surely. Two full size grass football pitches, a full size gravel hockey pitch and large concrete/grassy areas bigger than most primaries had in total.

It's good to still see a lot of the die hards going to the matches. Used to be on the bus with you following the Hibs all over the place back then.

Also looking forward to the morn and hey it's never a bad thing to go and see the Hibs.:thumbsup:
