Just interested to see what parts of the city and beyond we all came from. Are we mainly Leithers and East Enders, or is that a myth nowadays?

I'm from the south side of the city, however, my Dad was originally from Lochend and my Mum was from Ferrier Street (now the car park at the foot of Easter Rd) and we were brought up on the Hibees so much so that my Dad would wear a black tie when Hibs lost a game ;-)

The village of Newhaven (as evidenced by my avatar), none of this Edinburgh nonsense for me!


The terrifying thing is though, I only moved there when I was four from around about Bruntsfield and only support Hibs because that's who my friends at school supported. Had I not moved I would probably have grown up a yam, a thought that still makes me shudder.:jamboak:

This is a good post!....Most of all my family were Hearts supporters, apart from two of my mothers brothers, and my dads sister, but everyone else that i could think off were jambos,thats why i supported Hibs, plus i like going to Easter Road, originally grew up around Polwarth area, which was mostly Hearts!, but as my father was in the RAF we moved away, firstly Leuchars, then London and Oxfordshire, then Gibraltar, back to Scotland, then Hong Kong, which is one of the reason i live here in HK now and the fact i worked with the MOD for a few years here and even managed to get posted to Gibraltar and Berlin before they pulled the Military out in 1994.
We went back to Edinburgh in the mid 80s, where my parents settled in Polwarth then Murrayfield, with me but i left and went South in 1987.
Now HK in home and i will not leave here unless somewhere else in Asia, but have the best of both worlds, my father is dead now, but my Mother spends the Summer in Edinburgh, and the winter in Gibraltar, as she still ownes an apartment there, and everywhere,
But the original question about where i was brought up etc.. well there you have it, and everywhere i have lived i have always managed to find or even accidentally come accross Hibs supporters somewhere!...strangely never that many Hearts!

I was a Niddron for most of my childhood until we moved to Clerie. When I went to secondary, I was sent to Porty where it was mostly Jambos.

When we moved to Clerie, my dad made sure I went to Ainslie Park, where a Jambo was a rare thing indeed. My year also included another future Hibby in Alex (Dingus) McGhee.

I was about 100 yds away in Kingsknowe Place - you would have been about 10 when I moved away.

I used to go to the matches with a couple of guys who stayed in Kingsknowe Drive (both long since moved away) - we had quite a Hibee stronghold in the land of the enemy!

[Scouse Hibee]

Ask a daft question - is "Scouse" a surname? Reason I ask is that there is a bench at Arthur's Seat that is to a Somebody Scouse. and it was not in quotes so made me do a "double-take"....


Yeah there are plenty of people with the surname Scouse.

[Scouse Hibee]

Yer just after his address so you can rob him when he's out ;)

In my house if you are non Hibbie then you sleep in the garden shed wi the spiders - never had to invoke this yet.

I was a Niddron for most of my childhood until we moved to Clerie. When I went to secondary, I was sent to Porty where it was mostly Jambos. One saving grace was I was in the same year as 2 future Hibs players in Laurie Dunn and Ralph Callachan. When we moved to Clerie, my dad made sure I went to Ainslie Park, where a Jambo was a rare thing indeed. My year also included another future Hibby in Alex (Dingus) McGhee.
