Hibernian Football Club, are one of the two major footballing clubs of Edinburgh. The Hibees are…read morebased on Leith and have recently gained a solid reputation in nurturing young talent with the likes of Scott Brown, Derek Riordan and Gary O'Connor starting their careers at the club. Over recent years under the stewardships of Tony Mowbary, John Collins, and now, John Hughes the club has established itself as a top six team in the Scottish Premier League, playing attractive attacking football (a rarity in the Scottish game!) The most recent trophy the team won was in 2007, when they beat Kilmarnock five - one in the Scottish League Cup! The club is one of the main institutions in the area, and generally the fans have a good reputation in the game. The last time I saw Hibernian was when they beat Celtic at Parkhead when they came from behind and scored in the last minute to win two - one! This team is on the up, and locals and visitors to Edinburgh should pay a visit to Leith to see this team!

Rugby in Edinburgh and the Borders in Scotland is something of an institution, some would say a…read morereligion. Heriots is one of the oldest, proudest and largest clubs in the Scottish rugby system (bar the big professional Glasgow and Edinburgh franchises) and the set up here just reeks of tradition. This year, Heriots celebrate their 125th anniversary, such is their history in the sport in this country. I've been here twice now with my son's team, Biggar RFC, to play against the Heriots U15 team. A fine team, well coached and disciplined, and that extends to their hospitality. Heriots is a great, friendly and welcoming club to all, visitors and opponents alike. Our game this weekend was played on the main pitch in front of the impressive stand; it just seeped with history and felt like somewhat of an honour to be part of the history of the place. Plus, y'know - Biggar won, so there was that. It's a lovely ground, and somewhere I wouldn't hesitate to return to, either with the kids' team or even just to take in a Premiership match one day.

Located in the Roseburn area of Edinburgh, not too far from Murradyfield Stadium, Penalty Box is…read moreone of the very few shops in Edinburgh where you can purchase items for ice hockey. I am myself not an avid fan of ice hockey and although I have been ice skating a few times, I have a distinct lack of balance and will not be looking to take it up any time soon. The shop however has an extensive range of items and equipment for all ages and sizes. They sell the obvious items like ice hockey skates and sticks, but they also have a full range of protective equipment as well such as shoulder pads, gloves and facemasks. They also have a smaller range of stock for over skating sports such as figure skating equipment and incline skating. Penalty Box also do other services such as repairs to ice hockey skates, sharpening of blades and also have a range of replica NHL shirts.

Saughton Sports Complex is a smaller sports centre but with most things you need in a sports…read morecentre. They have outdoor pitches with astroturf for 5-a-side football and an athletics track with various other sports packages. In the past I have only used the 2 things named above but my time there was enjoyable. The complex is cheap, and the pitches are a lot cheaper to hire out than those of larger chains. The athletics track is large with grass verges at the side where ou can sit and watch, it's lovely on a summers day. Many a school uses the complex for their sports days or for their baseball classes. The changing rooms are spaceous and clean with plenty lockers. There is not a great deal of staff on the complex but normally a janitor who can assist who sits near the entrance.
