As a youth team, a number of young footballers played for Tynecastle Boys Club on their way to successful careers.

Tollcross United secretary, Alastair Wilkie added: "For some time now we have struggled to encourage younger players to join and the tie up with such a club as Tynecastle is the only way forward.

"[3] On 5 August, the club played their first ever senior match, a pre-season friendly against Scottish Premier League side Hibernian.

[5] On 13 November 2007, the club received a windfall of £114,000 after former player and Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon was transferred from Hearts to Sunderland for £9 million.

Chairman Douglas Dalgliesh said: "We thought that if a player was over twenty-three we wouldn't be entitled to any money, so it was a shock to receive this news."

Tynecastle moved to the Meggetland Sports Complex in 2018, where they share the main stadium grass pitch with Boroughmuir RFC.

[12] They originally played at the Fernieside Recreation Ground,[2] which had been Tollcross United's home since 1971, before sharing Saughton Enclosure with Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale from 2015.
