Oriam Indoor Tennis Centre opens its doors

The £4.5m Oriam Indoor Tennis Centre has opened its doors at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

The new centre, which is set to become a major asset for the future of tennis in Scotland, has been funded in partnership between Oriam, Heriot-Watt University, the LTA, LTA Tennis Foundation, sportscotland and Tennis Scotland through the Transforming Scottish Indoor Tennis (TSIT) fund.

Work began on the Indoor Tennis Centre in September 2022 and a soft opening was completed in December 2023. There have been growing calls for Scotland to develop additional top-level tennis facilities to service the demand across the country.

Scott Lloyd, CEO of the LTA, said: “We want to ensure local communities have a range of accessible opportunities to get on court.”
