What is recorded here

Mcleod Street holds a Tynecastle football ground where nineteenth-century matches became twentieth-century stadium roar and a war memorial stands among the stands. Edinburgh may have turned that field into a chamber for joy, grief and repeated ceremony. The address still belongs to the city even when the field itself is hidden from ordinary memory.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Mcleod Street, Tynecastle Park Stadium as Football Ground (19th Century), Stadium (20th Century), War Memorial (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Tynecastle Park Stadium, originally built in the late 19th century, was developed as the home ground of Heart of Midlothian Football Club and expanded significantly in the 20th century. It is remembered as an important sports venue in Edinburgh and as a war memorial, reflecting both local sporting heritage and national remembrance.
