Its first home was the almost as-new Logie Green (also known as Puddocky thanks to a local population of frogs), the school sports ground in the Warriston district of Edinburgh.

The very first delivery at Goldenacre, by William White of Heriot's, produced a simple caught-and-bowled chance, promptly grassed – not the last easy catch to be dropped at the ground.

By 1914, when play was stopped by the outbreak of war across Europe, the fixture list included most of Scotland's leading clubs outside the already existent Western Union.

Several talented players appeared, such as batsman Alec Bateman, off-spinner Alex Gordon, opening bowler Jack Nicoll, and aggressive all-rounder Sid Plowright.

Once formed, however, Heriot's FP immediately became one of its leading sides, regularly challenging for the title of champions, although with no ultimate success for many years.

George Goddard and Hamish More continued amongst the leading players in Scotland throughout, and two other home-grown Herioters, spinners Richard Rodger and Euan McIntyre, were also capped in this remarkable period.

The National League has never been won but the Club remained in the Premier Division until the end of the 2009 season, when relegation followed defeat in a play-off with Forfarshire.

However 2010 saw an immediate return to the top flight, and in 2012 the Scottish Cup was won again (and again against Watsonians, as in 1978), with the final taking place this time at Titwood in Glasgow.

The club's name-change, mentioned in the first paragraph above, resulted from the increasingly "open" nature of the membership; but it continues to enjoy strong links and relations with George Heriots School.

The 1st XI, captained by Scottish international cap Steve Knox, currently play in the Eastern Premier Division and run 3 senior and 3 junior teams.

In 2014 the club played once again in the Eastern Premier Division captained by Cameron Farrell, Steve Knox as coach and Chris Middleton as president.

Led by Mark Watt the team defeated Carlton in the final and also accounted for Grange, Watsonians, Clydesdale and Ayr en route to winning the Championship.
