<P> Hearts have won the Scottish league championship four times , most recently in 1959 -- 60 , when they also retained the Scottish League Cup to complete a League and League Cup double -- the only club outside of the Old Firm to achieve such a feat . The club 's most successful period was under Tommy Walker from the mid 1950s to mid 1960s . They won seven trophies in this period and were runners up for five others . Jimmy Wardhaugh , Willie Bauld and Alfie Conn , Sr. known affectionately as the Terrible Trio were famed forwards at the start of this period with wing half lynch pins Dave Mackay and John Cumming . Wardhaugh was part of another notable Hearts attacking trinity in the 1957 -- 58 league winning side . Along with Jimmy Murray and Alex Young they set the record for the number of goals scored in that league winning campaign ( 132 ) . In doing so they became the only side to finish a season with a goal difference exceeding 100 ( + 103 ) . </P>
