jockmac Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A wonderful photo of 'Commando Training'. Pre season 1966 in Perthshire. Taken from Neil Strevens' superb scrapbooks.

Mdoug79 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Finally got to visit the Memorial Garden and Museum today, had the family down for the Christmas market do popped in on way home. Really enjoyed it and it's a really fantastic thing to see Tynecastle improving so much in such a short time. Keep donating and keep improving I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 When you are feeling down and think the Hearts are doing badly. Then visit the museum and remind yourself why you are a Hearts supporter. If you don't leave the museum cheered up then you never will be.
