Hearts Heritage would like to hear from you!
Hearts Heritage are looking for participants for their oral history project which will form part of the Maroon Mile Heritage Trail.
About the Maroon Mile:
Heart of Midlothian has enjoyed iconic status in Gorgie and neighbouring Dalry since the late 19th century with a rich history that is interwoven with that of the local community. Hearts Heritage have received generous funding from the National Lottery to create a mile-long heritage trail that focuses on the social, economic and sporting history of Gorgie and Dalry.
Starting at the Monument, the trail will end at the Hearts’ Museum, where new multimedia equipment will be deployed to share a rich array of assets highlighting the history and heritage of the Club and the area since 1874. The trail will be created with the local community with physical signage and interpretation as well as an audio walking tour.
The oral history Project
The Maroon Mile Project seeks to capture diverse voices from Haymarket to McLeod Street, sharing the social, economic and sporting history of Gorgie and Dalry.
