Where it came from
Released in 1962 on the Gaelfonn label, this 7-inch single captures a unique moment in Scottish football culture by featuring anthems for Edinburgh’s two primary rivals, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian. Hector Nicol, a popular Scottish comedian and entertainer known for his sharp wit and folk-influenced performances, delivered these recordings during an era when local football fan culture was beginning to find a more formalized musical voice on vinyl.
The record was produced as a commercial tribute to the intense rivalry of the Edinburgh derby. Nicol’s approach was characteristic of his broader repertoire, blending traditional Scottish musical sensibilities with the spirited, partisan energy of terrace chanting. While intended primarily for local supporters, the disc remains a significant artifact of 1960s Scottish popular culture, reflecting the deep-seated communal identity associated with supporting either the 'Maroons' or the 'Hi-Bees' during a decade of rapid social and cultural change in the city.
