Edinburgh Rugby and British Heart Foundation are thrilled to announce a fantastic competition for two Heart Heroes to win the chance to be mascots at the Scarlets game.

The club’s Official Heart Health Partner, British Heart Foundation are offering two young fans the unforgettable opportunity to take part in our Breadalbane Mascot Experience at our game against Scarlets on Friday 27 February 2026.

This special competition is open to supporters aged 5–12, and aims to shine a light on the incredible bravery, resilience and generosity shown by young people affected by heart disease.

Every day, children and families across the country are touched by heart conditions. Some live with congenital heart disease, others support parents or siblings through treatment, and many dedicate time to raising money and awareness for heart research.

Together with British Heart Foundation, we want to recognise those young heroes by giving them a moment they’ll never forget: running out at Hive Stadium alongside their Edinburgh Rugby heroes in front of thousands of supporters.
