Interviews, photos, links and everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the Tynecastle Arms and Gorgie, from the people who know best – the regulars.

Tynie Talk is one part social history, one part unofficial Edinburgh tourist guide – at the same time building up a fascinating, real-life soap opera which I intend to develop to eventually include interviews with the shop-keepers, locals, bookies, café owners and eccentrics that make up this wonderfully vibrant part of my city.






Where did Sarah’s husband, Tommy, take her on their first date?

Who are Niall's favourite bands? What happened to all his cd's?

Why did Frank lose his school-days Saturday job at the Edinburgh Castle tea-room?

Who first took Nod to the Tynie? Why does he keep going back?

Who are this Manband that Alistair loves so much?

Who are Davie O’Neill’s favourite live band?

Why does Senga see herself as a black Persian cat with green eyes?

Why did Iain have to move to Edinburgh when he was 16?

Why does Curly keep coming in the pub?

Why does Ricky get a taxi up from Royston?

What used to scare Stevie in the house he was brought up in?

What did auld George the policeman used to do when he caught an 11 year old Ian Brown playing football where he shouldn’t be?




THE TIME IS NIGH. ENTER TYNIE TALK TO FIND OUT THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS AND MANY MORE
